Animal

braided and tangled

i've seen the stomp

the drumbeat inside 

feathers and fire

mane and desire

nothing can feed you

and nothing can keep you

and no mountainside

is wide enough

to guide your restlessness

to swallow your scenery

you see that river?

where lions bleed 

and babies splash 

so brightly born and 

crying for more

i'm swimming the river

and fighting the deep

wanting to swim 

and needing to sink 

you see that river?

where lions cry 

and you will splash

so brightly born and 

crying for more
