[Verse 1] I can't escape this hell So many times I've tried But I’m still caged inside [Pre-Chorus] Somebody get me through this nightmare I can’t control myself [Chorus] So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become Help me believe it’s not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal (This animal) (This animal) [Verse 2] I can’t escape myself (I can’t escape myself) So many times I’ve lied (So many times I’ve lied) But there’s still rage inside [Pre-Chorus] Somebody get me through this nightmare I can’t control myself [Chorus] So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become Help me believe it’s not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal I have become Help me believe it’s not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal [Bridge] Somebody help me through this nightmare I can’t control myself Somebody wake me from this nightmare I can’t escape this hell [Refrain] This animal This animal This animal This animal This animal This animal This animal [Chorus] So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become Help me believe it’s not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal I have become Help me believe it’s not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal [Outro] This animal I have become
