Animal

Eels

If i could love you

I'm sure i would

If i could hold you

And feel understood

I'd be there now

But i don't know how

'cause i am an animal

Bundle of rags

Wrap me tight

Keep me safe inside

Warm at night

I am no more

I am not good

I am so sorry

If you misunderstood

I'd make it up

But i cannot

If i am an animal
