The Beast

I walked the distant road to find the thing that I was missing

I traveled miles away from home

I didn't understand the helpless tale that I was living

I didn't know how far to run

I've desecrated memories and love given so freely

Abandoned those I left behind

They didn't understand the reason why I have to leave them

It wasn't me they'd want to find

The morning sun will expose the remains of everything I've done

I tried to let the urges pass and fade

I wanted all the lies to be set free

I couldn't fix the way I had been made

So, I, tucked away the hidden beast in me

They always call the name of the person that I wasn't

They think that I'm the same thing as I was when I was killing

that it's as simple as it seems

They don't understand that it controls the darkest parts of me

I tried to let the urges pass and fade

I wanted all the lies to be set free

I couldn't fix the way I had been made

But, I, can't control the vicious beast in me

Chain my throat with rusted metal

Torment me with human hell

On my flesh your rage will feast

And finally you will know the beast

I tried to let the urges pass and fade

I wanted all the lies to be set free

I couldn't fix the way I had been made

But, I, can't control the vicious beast in me

You want let the urges pass and fade

You want to blame the violence on me

You try to fight the way you have been made

But, the truth is that the beast will set you free
