There's a beast in e_very man who breathes With him from birth until beside him in the grave
A hi_deous presence just aching for release
Its chains aren't as strong as its memo__ry It lies dormant so far from dead
Bridge
Its whisper like branches as they bend
Twisting, grinding just threatening to snap
Floods of frustration, cascading in my skull
On the axis back and forth, the swinging pendulum
So much damage, bashing each wall
I hear the sand pounding in the hourglass as it falls
Pre-Chorus
Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's
Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it
Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them
Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
Bridge
There it is again, telling you you can't
That lump in your throat, you fight to swallow back
There it is again, hoping that you won't
Wishing failure but not giving up the ghost
Silent voices, stabbing at peace
Pushing off fingers from the ledge of sanity
Like a thousand leeches, feeding on your wits
Making something meaningless seem significant
Pre-Chorus
Sometimes I just wish I could shut it all
Chorus
Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's
Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it
Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them
Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
verse 4
This uninvited guest inside my brain
With every threat whispered I feel no__thing
And when I'm at my best it inter__venes
How can I get anyone else to relate
Interlude
Silent voices, stabbing at peace On the edge, pushing my fingers off,
off
Chorus
Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's
Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it
Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them
Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
