Brings back “the beast” motif: a struggle with something monstrous, internal or external. Could be about ongoing conflict, acceptance of the beast within, or resisting it.
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I called the hospital this morning
I was getting a feeling
Of losing my mind
Of losing control
[Verse 2]
I'm scaring my sister and my mom
My eyes aren't human, but they're calm
The sun is in hiding
No rules I'm abiding
[Verse 3]
It's more to the story than my father said
It's more to this life than the life I've had
People are dying while I'm playing dead
I'm fucked up in my head
[Verse 4]
It's more to the story than my father said
It's more to this life than the life I've had
An angel is crying, and she can't get out
Give life to the angel
[Instrumental Outro]
