The Beast - Concrete Blonde

The prey of the beast screamed

bloody murder

the line is so fine between

hoping and hurting

former believers they beg for release

as love looking down on them

Smiles and picks his teeth

trapped in between heaven and hell

he knows all the secrets

and don’t want to tell

there’s nowhere to run and there’s

nowhere to hide

love knows you all too well

He will find you

Love is the ghost haunting your head

love is the killer you thought

was your friend

love is the creature who lives

in the dark

sneaks up, will stick you

and painfully pick you apart

Love is a poet, love sings the songs

pointing his finger you follow along

voices are calling,

the monster wants out of you

paws you and claws you, you try not to fall

Love is the leech, sucking you up love is a vampire, drunk on your blood

love is the beast that will

tear out your heart

hungrily lick it and

painfully pick it apart

(Repeats)

Love is a ghost, haunting your head

love is the killer you thought

was your friend

Love is the teacher who lives in the dark

sneak up and stick you

and painfully pick you apart
