Lyrics for The Beast

Sky change the sea Love changed me In that battle cloud way I'd like to say we left the field smoking Smoking, smoking I see what you see, don't you worry Love, love, love, love, love Love, love, love, love, love Love is a hill with a view of reality Smoking, smoking And the gravestones from here look like teeth With a beast asleep at our feet Borrowed breath, borrowed thrones In the end, we'll solely be To fill one another's needs Sky to the sea The center holds together A stubborn, old sailor Forever the salt of the sea With one hand on the wheel And one on my shoulder Dividing the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water 'Til beast, released beast, released beast, released beast Released beast, released beast, released beast, released beast Released beast
