Chasing a Beast

My muscles are wasted, my nerves are frayed
Sensations they weave between lion and a sheep
Yeah, you had me believe that I'd get some relief
You had me believe that there'd be no repeat
Of this annual harassment, the torture and beat
You know God doesn't speak of any belief
I open the door, the key to time
I open the jar up, it's only to find
Watching you, watching you, watching you, watching you (watching you)
Watching you, watching you, watching you, watching you (watching you)
I'm mutating enemy, I got no more energy
I'm chasing a ghost that my has been good
A white magic woman, she's chain-smoking nightmares
She's breathing in, she's breathing out like spoken affairs
I'm scared she'll look down, cast a spell
I know I'm in this dream 'cause I'm feeling like hell
But I'm locked in a room with a loaded dice
She proffers the question, a gun or a knife
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
I'm chasing a beast, I'm chasing a beast
