The Beast
On addiction...
Feed me with drugs and drink
So you can quieten my voice
I will even let you think
That in this you have a choice
In the darkness you will find me
Kissing away your tears
With my chains you can be free
For a moment, ease your fears
I have seen a million of you
And there be a million more
I am the lies you think are true
That you scream at death’s door
Feed me with your fear and terror
Sing me the same old drunken song
I can make this pain last forever
Making all your rights to wrongs
I will always whisper to you softly
When you’re scared and alone
Just don’t tell anyone about me
I romance you best on your own
For I am the Beast
On your pain I feast
And I shall never cease
While you hold my leash
