despicable animal
Singer: wye oak
if i say no to you
will i still go to you
begging a desperate grin?
all eyes and mouth
will i still shut you out?
will i eat all your ashes again?
still in this haste
wonder what is this taste
you are feeding me gentle and plain
though i am made for you
i am afraid of you
violence is part of your name
thank god
i'm home
you're finally on to me
my one
my own
despicable animal
i hope we meet
and still you will speak to me
i shift to flee
and render it obsolete
but i won't see the sun for anyone
my blindness is complete
and there is no coin or currency
to equal my belief
if i can bring us to the water
will you promise to drink deep?
you are the one who makes me golden
as i shudder in my sleep
you are the one
is it a flaw
that i'm proud of it all
at how little that we truly need?
i was in awe
i was never in doubt
of how terrible hunger can be
thank god
i'm home
you're finally on to me
my one
my own
despicable animal
i swear i can speak
but my jaw is loosening
i feel the pull
and oh it is frightening
but i won't see the sun for anyone
my blindness is complete
and there is no coin or currency
to equal my belief
if i can bring us to water
will you promise to drink deep?
you are the one who makes me golden
as i murder in my sleep
you are the one
and i won't see the sun
for anyone
