The Beast

When I wake up I see the sun streaming through the leaves Where'd I leave the keys? 'Nother day, pray to keep the peace Had to flee the beast Save my face, hid between the trees Keep me feeling dec' Back to base Reeling from my dreams It's not what it seems Hear the roar Soon I'll hear the pleas Hear the screams As the beast reaps, eating as it feeds Now I'm bleeding from my knees Take a seat so I can breathe 'Til I see hazel eyes staring back around me I see the stripes, see the signs Soon I'll leave my life behind It's a vice, it's a crime See it creeping through the vines In the nights, in my mind It's the beast seeking to find Uninvited but defiant There's no reason in its eyes So I speak into the sky Breathe a plea for the divine I don't wanna die 'Nother time Hear it as it sighs I supply supplication It defies my placation With a lions indication Takes a bite out of my spine (fixation patient) Let's go, move! No, there's no time We have to run
