Are you gonna talk this time? Don't panic as you navigate The shadows that are inside 'Cause you're blind to what's in front of you Bury the pain, sink into the deep, dark oblivion Oblivious to all of the lies you told to keep your sanity You need a remedy to cure your vanity Danger!

The creatures clouding your mind The wicked feelings you hide No reason to run from the monsters The monsters this time Your thoughts are haunting Violent and hungry Showing no mercy Like the dark after dusk (dusk) The dark after dusk (dusk) Those dangerous emotions raging up again Try to keep the beast within Ayy Oh Ayy Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh When the wolf comes howlin' And you hide deep beneath your skin To keep the beast within (The beast within, the beast within) (Hey!)
