The Taming of a Beast

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 want to taste it all

I wanna falter and fall

I wanna run from civility

The flags of morality

Just go with the 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 is 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 want to 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 his 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 refill me

Sometimes I feel

The beast gets the best of me

The beast gets the best of me

And don’t think too much about the ones who’ll burn

Every Icarus has had his chance to turn

To burn

To run

To fall

To fall

To turn

It's not for everyone

To touch the sun

You must let them fly

Just let the wild ones run

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!
