Beast (feat. The Sound of Your Reflection) Lyrics

I was born in the belly of the beast

I heard some noise and caught a glimpse of light between it’s teeth

So I studied it’s habits, the cycles of when it eats

Then one night before a ritualistic feast

I crawled up it’s throat and hid in it’s cheek

After thunderous laughter the beast needs a drink… so

Between the gulps I would itch it’s throat

It finally spit me free

So I gather my thoughts while feeling it’s glare

I slow my breath while it disrupts the air

It stomps the ground craving my feedback of fear

So I finally turn around curious as to why it even cares

Why do you care?

I look into the black abyss of it’s eyes, mirrored to mine

It’s the common darkness of a pupil, a student seeking light

So I bow in respect and notice a mother, smiling behind

I smile at her as I walk back towards the beast

I say to it, “I will be a piece of meat, if that’s what you need.”

It growls and roars as I crawl back into it’s mouth

So I gently whisper, “Consume me and I’ll let more out.”

I was born in the belly of the beast

I heard some noise and caught a glimpse of light between it’s teeth
