lyrics

I'm just a fool like I was back then but now
I'm just a fool, with a head full of your damn lies.
Come on baby he's just a kid!
I never saw someone crying like you did
I was a man and you were the mouse
I'm not so low as to kick you when you're down
You were a child and I was a kid
It doesn't sound so much different but it is
I'm not as deluded as you are
But my good intentions never seem to go that far
You were the man and I was a mouse
It's funny how fast you forget when it suits you most

Baby, we could have been free then
But you wanted to be them, so I went home
Last night, when we were dreaming, I was screaming but you didn’t care
I was melting into the ground, our roots are bound but its not enough

I wasn’t born yesterday but its pretty close
the things I know least are what I pretend to most
I always seem to be misunderstood
I’m too afraid to kiss you when I should
Always a boy but never a man
This bullshit keeps repeating again and again
“It’s gotta be bad before it gets good”
Fuck your psychology its good when its good
All that I want is to be treated the same
But you’re too good for me, and you’ve made that very plain

Baby, we could have been free then
But you wanted to be them, so I went home!
lately we’ve been brooding, and every morning you’ve packed your bags
And now, we’re in the river, and I hate swimming, so I’d rather drown

(Give it to me one more time…)

She’s there when I’m sleeping but I know that they’re just dreams
It’s right in my window, but none of its for me
I just don’t want to die alone
I’ve passed through your turnstile, so I’m stranded on my own
Another notch for the belt
Guess thats what you wanted, but thats not how it felt
Why are your mistakes always my fault?
Its fucking exhausting and you’re just a waste of salt
You’re like a vampire for my joy!
But I’m so god damn lonely that it felt like I was yours

Just dig my grave at the alter
Mrs brown I fucking hate your daughter
Just dig my grave at the alter
Mrs brown I fucking hate your daughter
Just dig my grave at the alter
Mrs brown I fucking hate your daughter
Just dig my grave at the alter
Mrs brown I fucking hate your daughter

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
