[Intro] [Verse 1] Woke up with the fire in my chest again Same old weight, same old war, same old cage They say "just breathe," like air could kill the rage But this beast don't sleep, it just turns the page [Chorus] Tame the beast, tame the beast Before it tears me down from the inside out Tame the beast, tame the beast Gotta chain it up before I burn it out Tame the beast, tame the beast Or watch it swallow everything I ever loved [Verse 2] Nine-to-five in a maze of paper walls Every deadline's a fang, every email's a claw They want me calm, want me quiet, want me small But the beast just laughs at the protocol [Chorus] Tame the beast, tame the beast Before it tears me down from the inside out Tame the beast, tame the beast Gotta chain it up before I burn it out Tame the beast, tame the beast Or watch it swallow everything I ever loved [Bridge] Sometimes it's the pain that wakes me at 3 AM Sometimes it's the anger I can't explain to them Sometimes it's the mountain of things I'll never clear The beast has a thousand faces... and they all look like fear [Final Chorus] TAME THE BEAST! TAME THE BEAST! Before it tears me down from the inside out TAME THE BEAST! TAME THE BEAST! Gotta chain it up before I burn it out Tame the beast, tame the beast Or watch it swallow everything I ever loved [Outro] Maybe the beast is me... maybe the beast is me...
