The Beast Is Back Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting here in a big old box
Getting help for my vice
Got a sink and a toilet
With a view like the rest of the mice

[Pre-Chorus]
I lie awake and I shake like a rabid dog
Waiting to attack
And I crave like an addict
And I'm afraid that the beast is back

[Chorus]
The beast is back
The beast is back
The beast is back
The beast is back

[Verse 2]
Got out and got a dead-end job
Right about minimum wage
Serving meals to the homeless
To subsidize my rage

[Pre-Chorus]
I can cook, I can clean, I can run my wheel
Like a big brown mouse
Breakdown and gotta have it
It's back to the halfway house

[Chorus]
The beast is back
The beast is back
The beast is back
The beast is back

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
I look back at my high school daze
With a gun in my hand
One step closer to madness
I stick my head in the sand

[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm high, I can dream I can fly
An eagle in a stone-cold sweat
I'll crash down like my daddy
Because my wings are wet

[Chorus]
The beast is back
The beast is back
The beast is back
The beast is back
[Outro]
The beast is back
The beast is back
The beast is back
The beast is back
