I'm Not an Animal

It's cruel to be dangerous
Danger is infectious
Even confidence lacks confidence
With a gun pointed at its head
Life is a miracle
Life is ecstatic
Order it and eat it, shut up and receive it
It's our daily bread
I make a daily habit of sleeping in an unmade bed

Get the blood pumping, step outside
Because the bad man's in your head
Speaking in metaphor
Time is elastic
But your fist is a language I don't understand
Though it looks like it wants me dead
That's what I said

Never forget that weakness is the thing that keeps us human
Never forget that weakness is the thing that keeps us human

I like the melancholy of wishing I was somewhere else
Words have a weight that I can't lift
And I struggle to defend myself
I'm not an animal
Far from ecstatic
But there's art in life
And it lives all around, though I'm lying within these walls
That's what I said

Never forget that weakness is the thing that keeps us human
Never forget that weakness is the thing that keeps us human

Never forget that weakness is the thing that keeps us human
Never forget that weakness is the thing that keeps us human
