Beast
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I wanna be the one's gonna chase all the demons away
Be the hero in the dark night
But there's a side of me that you haven't seen
There's a villain that's hidden
Intimacy is the trigger
(And I can't control it)
There's a monster that's sleeping
If he wakes up he's a killer
(You're too close)
I know there's a beast inside
That I have to hide
But it won't leave me alone
Clawing through my skin at night
Overtakes my mind
And it just won't let me go
So maybe you should run away
I'll tear your heart out if you stay with me
You're gonna see the Beast inside
You're gonna see the Beast inside
Girl you hit me like a full Moon
I feel it in my blood everytime I get close to you
Scared of the damage that I could do
And you'll hate me forever now baby
I'll turn you into the villain
Blame you for things that you didn't
(You didn't even do)
Another innocent victim
A tragic story gets written
(We both lose)
I know there's a beast inside
That I have to hide
But it won't leave me alone
Clawing through my skin at night
Overtakes my mind
And it just won't let me go
So maybe you should run away
I'll tear your heart out if you stay with me
You're gonna see the Beast inside
You're gonna see the Beast inside
Dangerous
Don't wanna hurt you
But I'm dangerous
Dangerous
Stay away, I'll hurt you 'cause I'm dangerous
I know there's a beast inside
That I have to hide
But it won't leave me alone
Clawing through my skin at night
Overtakes my mind
And it just won't let me go
So maybe you should run away
I'll tear your heart out if you stay with me
You're gonna see the Beast inside
You're gonna see the Beast inside
Dangerous
Don't wanna hurt you
But I'm dangerous
Dangerous
Stay away, I'll hurt you 'cause I'm dangerous
