Lyrics
Animal
And the wheels go round and round
And the headlights shining, fade in, and fade out
And the cigarette burns, burns, burns,
And the cigarette burns, burns, burns
I don't care cause I'm wasted, I don't care cause I'm wasted
And the road goes up in smoke
So I, paint a picture, in my head of where I'm suppose to go
I don't care cause I'm wasted, I don't care cause I'm wasted
And the wheels go round and round
I am an animal, I am an animal, cause you can't control my brain
And that makes it impossible, I am an animal
And the voices take their toll
And so you're waiting, and hoping that they'll let you go
You don't care cause you're floating, you don't care cause your floating
And the wheels go round and round
I am an animal, I am an animal, cause you can't control my brain
And that makes it impossible, I am an animal
So we'll get drunk
And we'll make love
And we'll break up
And we'll make up, and we'll wake up
Over again
And the wheels go round and round
I am an animal, I am an animal, cause you can't control my brain
And that makes it impossible, I am an animal

I remember stumbling upon this video the year it came out, but didn't follow Alec then since he only had a couple videos. I sadly forgot about him. Then I found I Built a Friend and became obsessed.

if you like his old ones, he has a song called enough to ask and its a 2010 single, meaning he wrote it when he was about 16.

Another great song as usual. I don’t think you’ll read this but if you do then I wanted to say thank you for your music. 1: it entertains me 2: it helps other people through tough times. Thanks, again. Also this just came into my recommended so yes I’m listening to it in 2019 lol 😂

[@smokey7014]

I'm kinda happy that I entered the gacha community, the gacha community is slowly turning bad but I had some good experiences and I learned a lot while being in their but it's also the reason I found Alec. His songs of "I killed someone for you", "let me down slowly", "the knife in my back", "pretending", they were pretty popular. I wasn't really the type of person to find who sang the song I like but "Let me down slowly" became my favorite and then my friend was talking about how cool his "if we have eachother" song was and I asked her who sang it and she said it was Alec Benjamin, the guy who sang my favorite song. I then looked at his KZbin channel and loved his music. That ladies and gentlemen was how Alec became my first most favorite artist/singer for 1 or 2 years

Hey Alec I just wanna say that'S am so glad Merrick Hanna danced to I Built a Friend because that made me really wanna check out more of your songs and then I heard Paper Crown and I was hooked. you deserve so much for being so talented. The emotions that you put into your songs make me cry. I have always appreciated talented musicians but out of the 6 decades that I have spent on this Earth you are the best. I am grieving the fact that I found you so late in my life. I appreciate the hard work and dedication and the emotions that you put in your songs. So I just hope that you see this and know that you have touched my life deeply. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
