The Taming of a Beast

Some nights I just feel this need to run

Some nights I just wanna burn to death, just like the sun

Some nights I just long to lose control

Some nights I just wish for destiny to touch my soul

It's the feeling that it's all too safe and sound

And I need something to shake me up

And strike me to the ground

A storm to come and root me up

And let me run, just burn my wings and touch the sun

So let me fly, just let me fall, just let it come

I wanna taste it all, I wanna falter and fall

I wanna run from civility, the flags of morality

Just go with the wild in me

Regardless of nation, creed or fallacy

Just pulling you close to me

Just peel off this thin skin of humanity

Sometimes I feel the beast is the best in me

It's not that I don't want what I have

It's not that I ever want to make anybody sad

It's not that I wanna hurt myself, no

But some things are better broken than left on the shelf

It's the hunger and the restlessness that call

A sweet vertigo of lust enticing me to take the fall

So lock me up, just chain me down and build a wall

Destroy the wolf and break his crown

Just file his claws and pull his teeth

'Cause when I'm free, I'm gonna taste you all

I'm gonna falter and fall

I wanna give up my dignity

Give in to iniquity, sleep with my enemy

Explode like the sun and become pure gravity

Just pulling you into me

It takes everything to refill me

Sometimes I feel the beast gets the best in me

The beast gets the best of me

(It's not for everyone to touch the sun)

(You must let them fly, just let the wild ones run)

Just stay safely on the ground

(Don't waste your precious time praising the cold)

Just give me all, I'll give you more

Just let me roam, unlock the door

(You will freeze to death, the ground's so gray and cold)

Release the beast, just set me free

Cover your eyes
