A Beast Lyrics by MAITA

Best Wishes

2020

I do not speak of the ache in my shoulders
They bear the burdens I willingly paid for
You have your own, they live deep in the folds
Of your cynical mind like mice
I have been bit by them two times or thrice
And the skin on my hand became tough to the touch
Now they sleep deeply, I oil the crease in my palm
And in all my dreams I'm more careful than kind
Keep my two hands clean and my tongue on ice
I dared you and dared you to fool me twice
I'd pay any price to be right
'Cause you didn't speak until it got real bad
You didn't speak, then you broke what you had
Let time run its course
I never could forget, but I’ll forgive like a dog
Somewhere in my bones, these wounds, they make their home
But I'm glad you're here
I keep by the door licking on the floor
How can a man ignore a beast and her sores?
I knew a girl who made bare of the world
'Cause the light that she wears takes more eyes than is fair
She holds the weight of a heart that yearns foremost to love
And I saw her love and read her lover's love
She burned red, I turned green, did I know anything?
Push came to shove, it wasn't enough, we know nothing
'Cause he didn't speak until it got really bad
He didn't speak, are we to go mad?
Must time run its course
I never could forget, but I’ll forgive like a dog
Somewhere in my bones, these wounds, they make their homes
And I'm glad you're home
I keep by the door licking on the floor
How can a man ignore a beast and her sores?
How long can a man ignore a beast and her sores?
