The Taming of a Beast

Some nights, I just feel this need to run Some nights, I just want to 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 The storm become And root me up and let me run Just burn my wings and touch the sun Don't let me fly, just let me fall Just let it come I want to taste it all! I wanna falter and fall! I wanna run from civility The blacks of morality Just go with the wild in me Regardless of nation, creed or fallacy Just pulling you close to me The spill of shed Skin of humanity Sometimes I feel the beast has the best of 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 want to hurt myself But some things are better broken than left on the shelf It's the hunger and the restlessness that calls Oh, sweet vertical, a lust enticing me to take the fall So lock me up, so chain me down and build a wall Destroy the wolf and break his crown The smile has claws, the bull has teeth 'Cause when I'm free I'm gonna taste you all! I'm gonna falter and fall! I want to give up my dignity! Give into inequity! Sleep with my enemy! Explode like a sun and become your gravity! Just pulling you into me It takes everything to refill me! Sometimes I feel the beast gets the best of me, oh The beast gets the best of me And you'll drink your rum, it's not to touch the sun It is not for everyone to touch the sun You must let the wild, just let the wild ones run Just stay safely on the ground Just give me all, I'll give you more Just let me roam and lock the door Release the beast, just set me free Cover your eyes!
