about

A song about our shared animal nature

lyrics

We're animals
From head to toe

But there's something about it
Like marrow inside my bones
Couldn't live without it
Couldn't find my way back home
But there's something about it
I just want to erase and forget about it

Born with teeth, baring fangs

Cause we're animals
From head
(To wash your hands of all this)
To toe

Born in heat, a white hot flame

But there's something about it
(My heart is lifted on air)
The roots so humble, wouldn't live without it
(And I fall to the ground)
Like the spirit or the soul, but there's something about it
(Suddenly know who I am)
When the truth finally told, we would gather around it
(Made of earth and the root)
Protecting us from cold, we would gather around it

A fire
Timeless
A fire, timeless
A fire, timeless, old

We're animals
From head to toe
