Lyrics Empire of the Animal - Shallows

Empire of the Animal

Hunter, hunted
Did you get what you wanted?
The only thing that’s not extinct is instinct
My eyes are open when I sleep
Human nature
Complacent, endangered
Pigs got you on your best behavior
I know your heart is growing weak
Feeling you is physical
In the empire of the animal
Things that I would never do
I do again and again, again to you
I can’t shake the beast out of me
I can’t pry your teeth out of me
Feeling you is physical
In the empire of the animal
I’m rabid, hungry
You’re static and ugly
Pheromones in the air are fading
Can’t you show me who you are?
Stuck in survival
Ascension is vital
Bare bones picked clean after the frenzy
You’re a scavenger at heart
You are what you eat and you are starving
You’re nothing to me when you are hiding
I’m just waiting to see if you survive me
Feeling you is physical
In the empire of the animal
Things that I would never do
I do again and again, again to you
I can’t shake the beast out of me
I can’t pry your teeth out of me
Feeling you is physical
In the empire of the animal
