about

Continuing the story after "In Their Image", in "Wild Animal" I am now 10 years old. It’s a song about the relationship with my mother, the confusion and push and pull of being an autistic child raised by an autistic parent. As a child I felt she was like a wild animal, a creature who I was tracking its every move, trying to understand it. It’s taken all these years to see that we are much the same, the wild animal is also me 🦌

lyrics

I get nervous when you touch me
Cause you don’t touch me often
And you never touch me long enough
I can’t even enjoy your love

I will tense all my muscles up
I won’t breathe til you’re gone
I don’t wanna scare you off

I always imagined you as a wild animal
We don’t speak the same language
You’re put off by my feelings
I always imagined you as a wild animal
We won’t get out of this alive
But all you wanna do is fight

I get anxious when you leave me
Cause you don’t leave me often
And you never leave me long enough
I can’t even enjoy your loss

I will tense all my muscles up
I won’t breathe til you’re gone
I don’t wanna bring you back
