Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One creature I return to, one habit I neglect
I cannot slow the pace at which I yearn
Frank and unabashed, I become a frozen servant
Smiling, asking nothing in return
[Verse 2]
Fang-toothed woman foaming at the mouth as she addressed me
Not with moving lips, but with the rabid wild arresting
Words are yet intended to identify emotion
Scrawling bold and oblique in my head
[Verse 3]
I've hung out at your service jobs, I've watched you wait and be ignored
Bled into the clatter as they sipped at what you poured
I cling to your perimeter as you float in the margins
Oblivious to being stung, their satellite becomes my sun
[Verse 4]
I've flown into that trap before, when things have gotten dark
In the depths of stranger's glances, lies the most ferocious spark
[Verse 5]
Most freedom is deceiving, if such a thing exists
When I was young, I knew but didn't care
Faces change and shape, but represent the same old beast
I wanna flee, but I can only stare
[Verse 6]
The sound a captured heart makes as it sizzles in the vapor
The title hum of fondness like a spike-wave oscillator
The rabid UV grin that beckons me into approaching
Grasping as it recedes into space
[Verse 7]
Who greets me first when I arrive? Who creeps into my half shut eyes?
It's in the blaze of your embrace where I feel more really alive
The bosom of one thousand watts into my skin, into my guts
Running circles in my mind, now on record, terrified
[Verse 8]
That porch we hit the first time so badly I cried
In his brief emancipation, he can feel what I cannot
[Verse 9]
There's a patch of light that hits the floor to occupy
Stretch my arms and legs and close my eyes
I now can hear my pulse alone, this manic pace I cannot slow
I do not miss the child you stole
Frying and abiding, I'm in your control
Like a sunbathing animal
Like a sunbathing animal
Like a sunbathing animal
Like a sunbathing animal
[Verse 10]
Like a sunbathing animal
Like a sunbathing animal
Like a sunbathing animal
Like a sun
