[Verse 1] Some nights I just feel this need to run Some nights I just wanna burn to death Just like the sun Some nights I just long to lose control Some nights I just wish for destiny to touch my soul
[Pre Chorus] It's the feeling that it's all Too safe and sound And I need something to shake me up Or strike me to the ground A storm to come And root me up And let me run To burn my wings or touch the sun So let me fly Just let me fall Just let it come
I want to taste it all
[Chorus 1] I wanna falter and fall I wanna run from civility The flags of morality Just go with the wild in me Regardless of nation, creed, or policy Just pulling you close to me Just peel off this thin skin of humanity
Sometimes I feel The beast is the best in me
[Verse 2] It's not that I don't want what I have It's not that I ever want To make anybody sad It's not that I want to hurt myself No But some things are better broken Than left on the shelf
[Pre Chorus] It's the hunger and the restlessness that call A sweet vertigo of lust enticing me To take the fall So lock me up Just chain me down And build a wall Destroy the wolf and break his crown Just file his claws and pull his teeth 'cause when I'm free
I'm gonna taste you all
[Chorus 2] I'm gonna falter and fall I wanna give up my dignity Give in to iniquity Sleep with my enemy Explode like a sun and become pure gravity Just pulling you into me It takes everything to refill me
Sometimes I feel The beast gets the best of me The beast gets the best of me
And don’t think too much about the ones who’ll burn Every Icarus has had his chance to turn
To burn To run To fall To fall To turn
[Outro] It's not for everyone To touch the sun You must let them fly Just let the wild ones run
Just stay safely on the ground Just give me all I'll give you more Just let me roam Unlock the door Release the beast Just set me free Cover your eyes!
