THE BEAST.

I've been everywhere, up, down and strange
I set the trap and put the hog in chains
You are not alone, but you are invisible
The hog escapes the chains again
Running through the town and the people
Spinning in the invisible middle
Swaying in the sweat and dribble
A drawn blade on a silent fiddle
Crouched in the weeds
I am the beast
Pleading on my four knees
Lick the wound but every time I move it bleeds
The blood feeds
But each bleed leaves more need
Man pleads
Counts his wants on the beads
Death breeds
He scatters seeds and leaves pleased
Close your eyes and ride that bomb to the sky
Ten reasons why you were right
Ten thousand more why you didn't even try
The cracked window sighs
Let's go round another ten thousand times
If I act like I cannot see they will take my eyes
Ten thousand reasons why I was right
Ten thousand more why I didn't even try
If you act like you cannot see I will take your eyes
There's always more to realise
The more you know you don't know the more you know
The more you know you don't know the more you know
The more you know you don't know the more you know
Down the line
Down the line
Down the line
Down the line
Down the line
Down the line
Down the line
Down the line
Down the line
Crouched in the weeds
I am the beast
Pleading on my four knees
Lick the wound but every time you move it bleeds
The blood feeds
But each bleed leaves more need
Man pleads
Counts his wants on the beads
Death breeds
He scatters seeds and leaves pleased
Close your eyes and ride that bomb to the sky
Ten thousand reasons why you were right
Ten thousand more why you didn't even try
The cracked window sighs
Let's go round another ten thousand times
If I act like I cannot see they will take my eyes
Ten thousand reasons why I was right
Ten thousand more why I didn't even try
If you act like you cannot see I will take your eyes
There's always more to realise
The more you know you don't know the more you know
The more you know you don't know the more you know
The more you know you don't know the more you know
Down the line
