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
