Jim Caroll - The Beast Within Lyrics

If give me your ear

Ill whisper you wind that could soothe your burnt blood

The door is right here

Breathing the air filled with powders and porn

Now comes the dawn



If I release the dove

Would it betray the sky and return to your cage

In the river above

Can I fold back the pages and just take one look

Into your jungle book



Refrain: some say its a lie, some say its a sin

Do you know how it ends if you wont let it begin?

You feel it waking now beneath your skin

You cant live without the beast within



If you lift up your veil

Then Ill finish the features that arent quite done

How could we fail

With all the miraculous masks that we wear

In shadows and stares



Lets seal out the dare

Your eyes like morning, naked and wet

What price will we pay?

Now think back and tell me how we ever got here

Such tender years



Some say its a lie, some say its a sin . . .
