Little Beast

Little beast
Tied up right where we left you
While the summers and winters came
That silly leash wasn't strong enough to hold you
We just all agreed to play this game

And you never know by the eyes you give a stranger
But you're as dangerous as all get out
Your favourite treast isn't the rarest but the rawest
You will feast upon a heart in doubt

But we know we're not supposed to feed you
Because we need that struggle like a hole in the head
And we fall asleep as though we cannot hear you howling
But every night we've heard every single word you've said

Little beast
How long can you survive this?
It's a question we have begged before
Never too near are you a burden or a beacon?
Do you need us or do we need you more?

There are nights your coat is looking ragged
And you have a look when our eyes meet
You say I was born beside you
You have always known me
And get me off this goddamned street

But we know we're not supposed to love you
Heavens above you know what would come next
There is no match for the tug o'war you're winning
Your strengrh must've been penned within a holy text

Little beast
Tied up right where we left you
While the winters and the summers came
That silly leash was never strong enough to hold you
We just all agreed to play this game
