Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become
[Verse 1]
I can't escape this hell,
So many times I've tried!
But I'm still caged inside.
Somebody get me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself!
[Chorus]
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become!
Help me believe,
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal!
(This animal, this animal)
[Verse 2]
I can't escape myself (I can't escape myself),
So many times I've lied (so many times I've lied),
But there's still rage inside.
Somebody get me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself!
[Chorus]
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become!
Help me believe,
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become!
Help we believe.
It's not the real me,
Somebody help me tame this animal!
[Hook]
Somebody help me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself!
Somebody wake me from this nightmare,
I can't escape this hell!
[Bridge]
(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal,
This animal, this animal, this animal)
[Outro]
So what if you can see,
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become!
Help me believe,
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become!
Help me believe,
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal,
This animal I have become!
