Lyrics

Instant Animal

My back was on the floor and there was nowhere left to run
Get up or get crushed
Instant animal
Like dreaming of a fall
(Instant animal)

Look at me now, I'm a killer
Look at me now, I'm a sharp blade
Mama, mama look at me, I'm a killer
They'll never do this to me again

Look at me now, I'm a killer
Look at me now. I'm a sharp blade
Mama, mama look at me, I'm a killer
They'll never get to me again

Instant animal
Instant animal

Instant animal
Instant animal

You know who you are when you've lost everything
You know who you are when there's nothing left on the plate
It's kicking in, I'm kicking in
It's kicking in, I'm kicking in

Bloodshot from the pain
Bloodshot from all of them walking all over me
My smile is over my shoulder
My smile is a distant memory

I want everything, I want everything (I want everything)
I want everything (I want everything)
I want everything (I want everything)
I want everything, I want everything
I want everything, I want everything

Give me everything, give me everything
I want everything
