Woken up like an animal Teeth ready for sinking My mind's lost in bleak visions I've tried to escape but keep sinking Limbs lost to a dead weight stake Skull cage like a prison And he's lost faith he'll ever see again So may he once thought of me then Underneath the skin there's a human Buried deep within there's a human And despite everything I'm still human But I think I'm dying here Woken up like an animal I'm all ready for healing My mind's lost with nightmares streaming Woken up (kicking screaming) Take me out of this place I'm in Break me out of this shell-like case I'm in Underneath the skin there's a human Buried deep within there's a human And despite everything I'm still human I think that I'm still human I think that I'm still human I think that I'm still human Underneath the skin there's a human Buried deep within there's a human And despite everything I'm still human But I think I'm dying here
