There's something in the way it calls to me, am I this weak? There's something here today that I can't name It's following me There's something I can't face It's still awake and throttling me There's some kind of mistake Am I this vile American beast? There's something in my head that I can't take It's inside of me There's something in my skin I just can't fake And crawling through me There's something I can't break within my bones It's collaring me But after all I'm violent Born as this American beast Know what you did to me No, never rid of me Bow to the shadows every time that you think you're free
What did you do to me? I'm not that cold Within your soul No self control There's something to this thing that keeps me from the threshold of sleep There's something in my mind that's thrilled at keeping secrets from me Sometimes I see you there Remember that you're still part of me And I can't tear away, regardless of the size of my teeth There's something in your heart that burns me when I'm trying to speak There's something you left here that always leaves me feeling the freak What was your reason for just leaving me in this rotting heap? Just to destroy me? Hope that karma spares you what you gave me
