H - The Evening Shadows lyrics

I have an animal inside me

He sleeps during the day

But he kicks and ticks even when he's sleeping

Never completely goes away

And as the evening shadows stretch themselves

The animal begins to wake

Comes out to see what is for breakfast

He takes whatever he can take

He isn't murderous or wicked

Sometimes he's like a little child

But he's voracious and insatiable

He's self-destructive and he's wild

I sometimes think about the animal

Sometimes I'm proud, Sometimes ashamed

I know he drove me from my hometown

Made me feel like I'm not the same

I know he stops me being boring

I think so anyway

And I don't know if I control him

But I must try to keep him chained

But he doesn't think about the future

He lives completely in the NOW

Doo bee doo bee dooo...

I sometimes see the other animals

Controlling other peoples lives

Doing things they thought they'd never do

And not really knowing why

So we must all beg for forgiveness

Say sorry and explain

Until the evening shadows stretch themselves

And here we go again...
