Desperate

Got a monster inside of me
You better watch out if you ignite him
He's got a road ahead, a full prophecy
To be the greatest beast the world has ever seen
I feed him every day, lick the bones clean
I feed him all the hate and he grows mean

He gets claws real big, pissed off quick
And if you cross him, you might drop dead
Metaphorically of course, settling the score
Never getting bored, loves the blood and gore
Always wanting more, feed him from the source
They don't really understand until they feel the force

Departed, if you start shit
You'll be heartless
In the darkness
Torn apart quick
You'll have scars ripped
You'll be chewed up and discarded

And this world ain't right, won't accept it
Negative energy, I expect it
Once it’s in your mind it's infectious
So fight for your life and reject it
You better give me space, I'm protective
My adrenaline spikes when I'm threatened
And if you stay in my way I'm aggressive
'Cause when there's no exit, I'll kill when I'm desperate
'Cause when there's no exit, I'll kill when I'm desperate

He's back and better than ever
I can feel my heart rate, adrenaline, pressure
It's stormy weather
Lightning, thunder, pouring, wetter
Yo, I'm a go-getter
Try to do it like me, but I do it better
I got a mind that's clever
The beast inside is competitive as ever

I'm conscious
My subconscious, an accomplice to me
I promise the darkness, I can harness
Believe
But don't cross me
I might lose control of the lost beast
So he's locked away inside
With the key controlled by fight or flight (uh)

And this world ain't right, won't accept it
Negative energy, I expect it
Once it’s in your mind it's infectious
So fight for your life and reject it
You better give me space, I'm protective
My adrenaline spikes when I'm threatened
And if you stay in my way I'm aggressive
'Cause when there's no exit, I'll kill when I'm desperate
'Cause when there's no exit, I'll kill when I'm desperate
