What I can remember, is a lot like water
I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
Trickling down a page
But I'm still caged inside
Of the most beautiful colors
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't quite put my finger down on the moment
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?That I became like this...
No one will ever change this animal I have become
You see I am the bravest girl you will ever come to meet yet I shrink down to nothing
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
This animal, this animal
I can't escape myself
at the thought of someone really seeing me
I can't escape myself
I think my heart is wrapped around
So many times I've lied
and tangled up in winding weeds
So many times I've lied
But I don't wanna go on living
But there's still rage inside
being so afraid of showing someone else my imperfections
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
and even though my feet are trembling
No one will ever change this animal I have become
and every word I say comes stumbling
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
I will bare it all... watch me unfold, unfold
Help me believe it's not the real me
These hands that I hold behind my back are bound and broken
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
by my own doing
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
and I can't feel anything anymore
I can't escape this hell
This animal
I need a touch to remind me
This animal
I'm still real
This animal
But I don't wanna go on living
This animal
being so afraid of showing
This animal
someone else my imperfections
This animal
and even though my feet
This animal
are trembling
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
and every word I say comes stumbling
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
I will bare it all... watch me unfold, unfold
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
My soul it's dying to be free
Help me believe it's not the real me
you see... i can't live the rest of my life so guarded
Somebody help me tame this animal
it's dying to be free
it's up to me to choose...
what kind of life i lead
But I don't wanna go on living
being so afraid of showing
someone else my imperfections
and even though my feet
are trembling
and every word I say
comes stumbling
I will bare it all... watch me unfold, unfold
This animal I have become
