Defining The Beast

When each day seems like a recital
You're wondering if it's worth your time to be
Such a dreamer when the beast takes hold of you
Like an old forgotten friend, you feel it
Coming like a soft breeze by your side
Telling you complacency is the way
Got a safe and easy plan in mind
Swell up like a bloated tick before you die

It's a voice so deep inside
It almost seems like a part of you
Give it in, give it in (it says)
Just waiting to watch you fall

Cold resign, you've seen it all,
seen every dreamer die
Each day you simplify your call,
I won't be taken by that lie

So bow down to the newest idol
If you're wondering if it's worth your time to be
Such a dreamer, then the beast takes hold of you
Like a fresh hypnotic trend, you feel it
Coming like the conscience in your head
Selling you dreams of complacency
It's got a safe and easy alibi
Swell up like a bloated tick before you die

Listen, cover your mind and regress
Find your serenity inside a broken heart
Cleansed by the burning
I burn, I burn, Away, Away

When the fire comes back to incinerate
When the kingdoms fall and the day is done
Though flesh will try to separate
All human hearts beat as one
When the tide comes around for the last time
And we finally gain our anarchy
Every eye scorched out in the cleansing
The only way we'll ever see
