lyrics

Oh darling, we're nothing like we were when we were young
we've changed, and it's hard to refrain
From the bleeding, in your teething mouth
And now you're far, from a boy, but you're hardly a man
And I said that, just for the sake of talking
And I thought that was what you were hoping to hear
Lightning's not so scary now
That there's so, so much more, to be fearful for

Oh baby, I was hoping you would come around,
And maybe, when we're older what's quiet will be loud
But lately, I've been losing faith! I know that you're stuck in a rut, but you just stare in space
And I'd kill to forget your face, the way you walk, and the way you talk
We would kill your mother and your sister, that would soothe our bleeding hearts
And I know that you need more than I can give you, but baby you know I tried

I made you, and through my bloodshot eyes
I couldn’t see I was wrong, and you knew from the start
Receding into archetypes
I was the fool, not the snake. My bed was made
I’m brooding for my remaining years
I am a slave to the wind that blows from the north
I beg you, aren’t you cruel enough?
Thats not the point, its been done, the wound’s been cut

Chorus

Drifting, from the arms of your love
You’re just a child, and you’ll learn, how cruel is the world
You’re moving, with the weight of the world
On your back.
Its these burdens, that you take that none of us expect
And you’re loved but your heart is shut
You’ve been waiting for that one true love
They’ll never come, thats ok! Its only you in your way.

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
