There's A Beast And We All Feed It Lyrics

They grin but they don't mean it

They sing but they don't feel it

They're gone but they don't see it

They can call but they can't heed it

They think but they don't speak it

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and they all feed it

Stop a moment try to freeze it

They find and they don't seek it

At the bar but they can't meet it

Try their best but they can't beat it

Nice car somebody keys it

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes they feed it

I'm not a finger pointer

I will not cry your name

For yeah brothers and sisters

We are one in the same

But when my sister suffers

And when my mother cries

All I want to do is look in someone's eyes and say

You sleep and you don't dream it

You're sly but you don't seem it

You're busy as a flea pit

You struggle to perceive it

Is it hard to believe it

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes you feed it

I'm not a finger pointer

I will not cry your name

For yeah brothers and sisters we are one and the same

But when my sister suffers

I am my mother's child

All I want to do is look in someone's eyes and say

Somehow we fear to speak it

We're scared someone will tweet it

It's on the wall but you won't read it

It's gone before you see it

We all dread to re-repeat it

There's a beast eating bit of beauty yes we can all feed it
