Snow Leopard

No longer remote, my tail in my mouth

I gave up my power, so won’t you come out?

I’m terrified to let you in

So take your chance before I turn around

Scamper away, on furry legs

To my icy mount, where I can stare down

With a look that makes you think

I’ve got it all figured out

And I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

But it’s cold out here

And my fur can only do so much

Yes it’s cold out here

And my heart longs to feel love

Are you scared of me?

Are you scared of me?

Why would you be?

I never tried to be scary

I am an animal, driven by lust

But the scent of the kill fills me with disgust

I’m terrified to let it in

So it’s back to the arctic to hide again

I see my reflection in the ice

And once in a while, it has me mesmerized

But I won’t look at what’s underneath,

The blood dripping from my teeth

And I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

But it’s cold out here

And my fur can only do so much

Yes it’s cold out here

And my heart longs to feel love

Are you scared of me?

Are you scared of me?

Why would you be?

I never tried to be scary

My fur is matted, my eyes are red

But I stand serene and unshaken

I want to bury myself in the snow

Instead I’ll put on a show

I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

I don’t need you

I don’t need anyone

I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you...

And I don't need anyone...
