Animal lyrics

A focus of our fascination For centuries past humankind Has tried to decipher the mind So common were theories That environmental influence Shapes developing minds Foregoing the obvious Natural instinct And if it is primal this instinct Built in us all Could this eventually Lead to our fall The animal lives inside us Inside of me But how close is man to beast Wired into our subconscious Aggression is in every beast As the normal desire to eat Caused by the threat of nature Reactions can be suppressed But only for some time And just like a time bomb We all can explode As history repeats itself And man chooses war Will we finally cease to exist no more The animal lives inside us Inside of me But how close is man to beast And if it is primal instinct Built in us all Could this eventually Lead to our fall The animal lives inside us Inside of me But how close is man to beast [Chorus x2]
