Beast
Why do we always talk about things like these?
Why do we always hunt each other down?
Why do we always smoke those cigarettes
And drink a lot of wine?

I know the kind of beast that I've become

I know I don't always show my gratitude
I don't always shut it when I'm spoken to
And I don't understand the things that you say... anymore

I know it doesn't show that I love you

No, I don't always like when children laugh
And I don't give a damn about your 14 year old
But who am I trying to fool by acting this way?
I need a lot of wine

I know the kind of beast that I've become
