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
