lyrics

Oh god I need to know am I your son or am I your pet? Did you make me like you or just like them? Who’s writing the scripts for mans best friend?
I think I need some corrections, or a rewrite from someone sober (don’t send the intern)

Come on baby put out your fires, you’re all alone now but you weren’t last night now weren’t you?
If you didn’t want me to leave then why’d you ask me to? And if the world is so bad how come you got it in the palm of your hand
You’re not too smart, but you’ve got a real nice face
And we’re all still kids we just run in place

(Its all that we have, this is all I have done, if I had money I’d fix it for you but I cant afford my rent)

I was staring (without looking) screaming (without speaking) crying (without feeling)
Trying (without moving) now, why are you so self obsessed? I’m so tired of sex. It’s just a chore I have to do every time I see you

And beneath your skin there is flesh and blood, theres a heart and some lungs and some other shit that I don’t understand
And with your mouth agape you take in a breath, and then it burns my air into carbon dioxide but thats not enough for you
You need some other lonely guy to chew your food for you

If I am your pet then treat me as such, but if I am a person then no one seems to have noticed
If I am your pet then please let me know. Who writes the scripts for mans best friend?
I think I need some corrections, or at least kill me off at the end of the season

Walking home from work at 3am, thinking of you with my shaking hands
What gives me the right to feel like shit? After all that they give, and I’m just a kid
They’re burning a hole in the ocean floor,
they’re taking their money and then they ask for more
And you’re just like them and you’ll never change, I’ve seen your mask and you’re all the same
So who do I ask when I want my share?
Does anyone listen and do they even care?
Who’s been taking your falls after all these years? Who’s choosing my flowers when I’m not here?
They’re leaving their mess for me to clean. You were taking a rest when I couldn’t sleep
I’m drunk on my own with my headphones on, I’m standing in the corner feeling out of placeIt felt so real at least to me, but the things I do are all you see

I’m just another hipster obsessed with death, narcissistic moron without perspective
I want to be strong but I’ll never be, a thorn in my side from your rosary

about

Animal Boy image

Animal Boy Guelph, Ontario

We’re a band from Guelph, Ontario.

We’re four anxious twenty-somethings who write extremely honest songs that you can dance to.

Sometimes those songs sound like indie/surf and punk.

We’re in a city that is very, very far from the ocean.

We’re doing it anyway. ... more
