The Beast

I'm out of my mind

Pictures of past lives

Trapped in a memory

In fragments of time

The way things used to be

Find a better way to get back home

Reaching for something new

That's just not there anymore

'Cause you know that it's gone

You slip away to the distance

Pass a crack of light in the floor

I hear the sound of mischief

As the promising light shines some more

I paid you in fool's gold, and I don't owe you anymore

And I deserve nothing I find

Like a mountain of pain on the floor

Losing ground

Taken by a prophecy

Siren sounds

Calling for your sanctity

Wipe away

The blood from your face

All I see is our demise

Headed for the blackened skies

And I need more time

I still hear

The beast is breathing

Should I fall upon my sword?

Make sure they know

That I fought for them

Make sure they know

They know I tried

I scraped and clawed

I gave my all

Stars in the distance

Oh how they tell a story of my life

And tell us to beware

Repeating the past

Nature is nocturnal and that is that

I spend my days underground covered in ash and smothered in dirt

And you know how it hurts this little clown

Pay no attention to the sound of the beast

'Cause you know it can't hurt you when you're with me
