I look around in the morning at the waves
As they beat into the shore
And I long to be one of them
They make me feel like a warm insurrection
As our revolution died in their arms
I used to cower in the face of friends
I used to want to be loved
Wanted to be as accepted as them
I blamed my fortunes for my pain and grief
I used my anger to explain the abyss
I wanted all to look up to me
I built a wall to hide my "self" behind
I used to cringe at the thought of death
I used to think it was something I couldn't accept
I killed my dreams one failure at a time
I resembled the mask inside I had created in my mind
I was blind, I had been undermined
I was distracted by a need to be original
I had to fuel the beast
But then it turned on me
I had to shut it out
But then it started begging me,
begging me [x3]
Won't you please come out
Won't you open up the gates
And let it burn in me
I will release the angry beast
And let it burn in me
I will open up the flame
And let it burn in me
I will swallow up my grief
And let it burn in me
I will swallow up the sun
And let it burn in me
And I will drink up all the sea
And let it boil in me, boil in me
I will swallow all my grief
And let it burn in me
