Giving Up The Beast Lyrics

I wrote these words down when there was still blood on the wheel

Seen darker days coming It's getting darker still

I found something that I had never sought

Money spent on anything just to get me out of my head

And now I've wasted every drop

And it stings just like a prick

Just like a dream

Just like a drink

Just like a shot

I sold whiskey to the heat - I sold fire to the well I

I may have damaged my truth - it's impossible to tell

Could it be that my ship will ever turn

Or is it just my time to burn out with the embers

Who here remembers just who I was

And my cause to defeat the elite bloodsuckers

Those motherfuckers who can still afford to eat

I know you're laying out your best - but I'm skipping on the feast

Goodbye cruel fascination - I'm giving up the beast

Late at night when I'm feeling out of tune

I wait by my window and hope you're coming soon

Just to break me off a piece of time

When I was young

And it was spring

And the moon was dark

And all was good

When you were mine
