The Beast

Gently as we go, gently as we go
Steady as we go, steady as we go
I can sense in openin and the front door is what that came in
You were burning a hole in my back
Can we turn this around from where we lost you in the evening?
Before things get outta hand
One by one eyes go optic
We're becoming the beast
Shear power and the heat of hate brings
Our army of two to its knees
Steel lungs are shoutin the house down
Goin for the kill from the kiss
Battle stations are now navigation
Have we driven love to this?
Gently as we go, gently as we go
Steady as we go, steady as we go
All fired up, you're a hot mess's getting messier
I'd do anything for sleep but I can think of far better ways
To waste your energy, if you can bare to still touch me
One by one skin hardens, we're becoming the beast
Shear power in the heat of hate brings
Our army of two to its knees
Steel lungs are screaming the house down
Going for the kill from the kiss
Battle stations are now navigation
Have we driven love to this?
Have we left, have we left the building?
Did we die a little death?
Is this the end of the road for us
No more bridges for us to burn left?
Do we finally find ourselves at the point of no
Return?!
One by one, we're becoming the beast
Sheer power in the heat of hate brings our army to its knees
Steel lungs are shouting the house down
Going for the kill from the kiss
Battle stations are now navigation
Have we driven love to this?
Gently as we go, gently as we go
Steady as we go, steady as we go
