You creep around this gloomy town I see you everywhere Invading all our homes and lives The cause of every tear You pollute our minds You put fear in our hearts Never showing a bit of remorse Ravaging Raging You don't hold back You take the world by force But beside the harm you do to us all There's something I can't get passed While some see your face every now and again Others You cruelly harass What did my mom ever do to deserve Your ugly abrasive embrace You plague her steps I can see your scars I can see you on her face The fastest man can't outrun you You beast The strongest can't fight you off You infest the sick with your repulsive presence In their beds In every cough You're ruthless You're reckless And your reach is worldwide There's not a soul That can hide From the moment we're born Till the moment we're gone In the shadows You surly reside But even if I again feel your grasp A hundred times worse then ever before I won't let you manipulate a moment of mine I won't live in this fear anymore They can take my breath away slowly Within you will find no strife I'll just look you dead in those cold grim eyes and say "You never commanded my life"

The Beast & Me
You creep around this gloomy town I see you everywhere Invading all our homes and lives The cause of every tear You pollute our minds You put fear in our hearts Never showing a bit of remorse Ravaging Raging You don't hold back You take the world by force But beside the harm you do to us all There's something I can't get passed While some see your face every now and again Others You cruelly harass What did my mom ever do to deserve Your ugly abrasive embrace You plague her steps I can see your scars I can see you on her face The fastest man can't outrun you You beast The strongest can't fight you off You infest the sick with your repulsive presence In their beds In every cough You're ruthless You're reckless And your reach is worldwide There's not a soul That can hide From the moment we're born Till the moment we're gone In the shadows You surly reside But even if I again feel your grasp A hundred times worse then ever before I won't let you manipulate a moment of mine I won't live in this fear anymore They can take my breath away slowly Within you will find no strife I'll just look you dead in those cold grim eyes and say "You never commanded my life"
