Eventide - The Beast And The Machine lyrics

I want to know, where I should go Should I follow your path or find my own? I know it's time to decide To figure out what to do with this life But can I really be free in your society Adjust to your norms and your beliefs? Can I be tamed within your frames Can I be free if I'm in chains? I am the monster you tamed A beast inside its cage Now I'm the bitter clown in your play A proud man drowning in shame Gave up on my dreams s**ed down in the flood that is the mainstream I transformed, became the norm that I fear the most I am the monster you tamed A beast inside its cage Now I'm the bitter clown in your play A proud man drowning in shame There's something calling deep within me Begging to be released I let myself die piece by piece In your machinery I've been adapting for so long It's time I finally got to see who's the weak The beast or the machine I am the monster you tamed A beast inside its cage Now I'm the bitter clown in your play A proud man drowning in shame
