Lyrics

Some say "to see is to believe"

Some express skepticism, believing only in what they can see.

Though your eyes the can deceive

Despite appearances, one's eyes can be deceptive.

Nothing's ever as it seems

Reality is often different from initial perceptions.

It's forever haunting me

A haunting presence persists continuously.

All the lies behind my teeth

Deception and hidden truths behind spoken words.

All the rage, a vicious fiend

Rage takes the form of a vicious, uncontrollable force.

There's an animal in me

An untamed, primal aspect within one's self.

It's forever calling

This internal force consistently calls out.

Abandon me and you will see

Warning that abandonment reveals inner horror.

All the bloody horror that lies in me

The terrifying aspects hidden within oneself.

The violence is locked within

Violence is deeply ingrained but concealed.

Clawing at the surface beneath my skin

The inner turmoil striving to break free.

Some say "you choose what you believe"

Beliefs are a matter of choice, but subject to deception.

But your mind can be deceived

Mind's susceptibility to misleading perceptions.

Nothing's ever as it seems

Continued theme: Reality is elusive and haunting.

It's forever haunting me

The persistent, haunting nature of deceptive appearances.

Now the beast it needs to feed

Inner beast needs satisfaction and expression.

And find a place to sink its teeth

The desire for the inner beast to assert itself.

There's an animal in me

Reiteration of the untamed, primal aspect within.

It's forever calling

The constant, unyielding call of the inner animal.

Abandon me and you will see

Reiterating the consequences of abandonment.

All the bloody horror that lies in me

Revelation of the horrifying truths within.

The violence is locked within

Violence is a locked, internal aspect breaking through.

Clawing at the surface beneath my skin

The internal struggle at the forefront.

Taking no comfort in solace I've found

Discomfort prevails, finding no solace in discovered truths.

Breaking the shackles that kept me held down

Breaking free from inhibitions that restrained.

Blind to the madness, deaf to the sound

Ignorance to chaos, insensitivity to surrounding turmoil.

With faith in my demons, will hell be my crown

Possibly embracing one's inner demons as a source of power.

Abandon me and you will see

Repeating the consequences of abandonment.

All the bloody horror that lies in me

Reiteration of the inner horror revealed through abandonment.

The violence is locked within

Violence continues to be an internal, locked struggle.

Clawing at the surface beneath my skin

The ongoing battle beneath the surface of the skin.

Trapped inside my memory far away where no one can see

Being trapped within memories, hidden from view.

The violence is locked within

Violence remains concealed but is present.

Clawing at the surface beneath my skin

The internal struggle, clawing at the surface, persists.
