Pain of Salvation - The Taming of a Beast lyrics
[Pain of Salvation - The Taming of a Beast lyrics]
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
Just 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 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
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
