The Beast

Writers note: This is my attempt at writing lyrics for a song 🎵

Kill the beast… the beast.

Emotionally deceased.

Mind trapped, still fighting your disease.

Locked in a fortress I built for peace,

Time passing like the petals at my feet.

The constant taint

of your complaint,

that I lacked restraint,

deserved my fate.

Kill the beast… the beast.

Emotionally deceased.

Mind trapped, still fighting your disease.

Locked in a fortress I built for peace,

Time passing like the petals at my feet.

You made it clear that love was fear,

a pain seared beneath my hair and beard.

I’ll protect myself in solitude,

and I lost the need to be seen as good.

I’m the beast… the beast.

Emotionally deceased.

Mind trapped, still fighting your disease.

Locked in a fortress I built for peace,

Time passing like the petals at my feet.

You arrived,

quieted my pride,

let my rough exterior slide.

Though a beauty hard to find,

what enchanted me was your mind.

Flags turn from red to green,

patience grows where anger used to be.

Your love has opened my closed doors;

my protection is now forever yours.

Tame the beast… the beast.

Emotionally unleashed.

Mind released and freed from disease.

A world where I don’t have to bleed,

enchanted petals bloom at our feet.
