The Taming Of a 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.
Some nights I just feel this need to run
Some nights I just wanna 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
Or strike me to the ground
A storm to come
And root me up
And let me run
To burn my wings or touch the sun
So let me fly
Just let me fall
Just let it come
I wanna taste it all
I want to falter and fall
I want to run from civility
The flags of morality
Just go with wild in me
Regardless of nation
Creed or policy
Just pulling you close to me
Just peel off this thin skin of humanity
Sometimes I feel
The beast has the best in 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 wanna hurt myself
No
But some things are better broken
Than left on the shelf
It's the hunger and the restlessness
That call
A sweet vertigo of lust enticing me
To take the fall
So lock me up
Just chain me down
And build a wall
Destroy the wolf and break its crown
Just file his claws and pull his teeth
'Cause when I'm free
I’m gonna taste you all!
I'm gonna falter and fall
I wanna give up my dignity
Give in to iniquity
Sleep with my enemy
Explode like a sun and become pure
Gravity
Just pulling you into me
It takes everything to refil me
Sometimes I feel
The beast gets the best of me
The beast gets the best of me
And I don’t think too much about the ones
Who’ll burn
Every icarus has had his chance to turn
To burn
To run
To fail
To fail
To turn
It is not for everyone
To touch the sun
You must let them fly
Just let the wild ones run
Don’t waste your precious time
Prasing the cold
You will freeze to death you’ll grow so
Grey and old
Just stay safely on the ground
Just give me all
I'll give you more
Just let me roam
Unlock the door
Release the beast
Just set me free
Cover your eyes
