Lyrics

I was always here in the silence
But I was never under your eye
Gather up your love in some wiseness,
For every memory shall always survive
And you will see me.

I am an animal
My teeth are sharp and my mouth is full
And the passion is so strong
When I'm alone, loneliness will change me

I am a vegetable
I get my body badly pulled
I'm rooted to the spot
Nothing will rearrange me

I'm looking back and I can't see the past
Anymore so, hazy
I'm on a track and I'm traveling so fast
Oh for sure I'm crazy

I am a human being
I can't believe all the things I'm seeing
I've nowhere to hide anymore
I'm losing my way

I am an angel
I booked in here I came straight from hell
I don't know how to lie anymore
I'm bozzing to pray

I'm looking back and I can't see the past
Anymore so, hazy
I'm on a track and I'm traveling so fast
Oh for sure I'm crazy

I was always here in the silence
But I was never under your eye
Gather up your love in some wiseness
for every memory shall always survive
And you will see me

I will be immersed
Queen of the fucking Universe
And I don't know what I have anymore
Anymore than you do

I am a nothing king
Been right around on a golden ring
I don't know where you are anymore
I've got no clue

I was always here in the silence
But I was never under your eye
Gather up your love in some wiseness
for every memory shall always survive
And you will see me

I am an animal
