But You Are Lyrics

Skin and bones

Curves and edges

Something draws you into me

A vulnerability

Grabbing hold

And holding on

How'd you get so strong?

How do I move on?

I'm not an animal

In a petting zoo

You can't touch me

Just because

You feel like it

You think I like it

But I'm not on display

For you

Or for anyone

I'm not an animal

But you are

Waking up

With cloudy vision

And haunting memories

Of you and me

Doing things

I didn't initiate

Or give permission for

I'm not an animal

In a petting zoo

You can't touch me

Just because

You feel like it

You think I like it

But I'm

not on display

For you

Or for anyone

I'm not an animal

But you are

Blood covered sheets

Sinking feeling

But I'm left all alone

So many questions

Can't be uttered

Can't say them out loud

God forbid I speak of it now

I'm not an animal

In a petting zoo

You can't touch me

Just because

You feel like it

You think I like it

But I'm not on display

For you

Or for anyone

I'm not an animal

But you are

You are

You're an animal

For the way you hurt me with no remorse

You're an animal

For the way you scar me

And still say you've done nothing wrong

You're an animal

You're an animal

You're an animal
