An Animal - Owen

I did my time

Endless days and nights

I paid for my sins so I could come back and sin again

I’ve seen the light

Burning hot and bright

It scorched my skin

I said fuck that and came back to sin again

I’ve been running like a convict across state lines

Looking for answers

An easy way out

An alibi

Free will for those who can afford it

The rest of us be damned

Free, I suppose, with help from your parents

But I can’t change who I am

I’ve got twenty eyes on you and no place to put my hands

I keep my secrets buried beneath us

under deep soil and stones

Maybe God will save my soul

but in this world I’m an animal with clothes on

An animal with needs
