Pain of SalvationThe Taming of a Beast

to make anybody sad
It's not that I wanna 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 fail
to fall
to turn
It is not for everyone
to touch the sun
you must let them fly
just let the wild ones run
don't waste your precious time
praising the cold
you will freeze to death you'll
grow so grey and old
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!
