about

“This song is about craving the familiar comfort of self destructive behaviours and about how - for most people - each day is a battle to not choose the path of least resistance.”

lyrics

Never try enough
Once my efforts disappoint
So desperate to turn
But I know I’m all talk
And if the choices change
That comforting hurt
Is the easier path
For a sinner to walk

I’m a backsliding animal
Always succeeding at failure
I only tell you what you want to hear

Got my alibis
And excuses all packed
Uncomfortable truths
Scheduled to cause setbacks
But I did not lie
I’ve never meant it more
This flesh is just weak
And we all know the score

I’m a backsliding animal
Always succeeding at failure
I only tell you what you want to hear

I’m a backsliding animal
Always succeeding at failure
I only tell you what you want to hear
