As I recall these events
From a place of clarity
I've found a beast awaits in me
An excuse to be set free

Chains of our morality
Binds the limbs of the beast
But as my patience thins
These old chains will break
When my rage hits its threshold

Lone, I beg to be
For it is my remedy
Alone, I beg to be
For it brings me clarity

The silence satiates me
Brings sanity
Lacerations on the wrists from the chains that bind
No end in sight, for this tortured mind

To gnaw the wounds would thus release him
But his blood burns his throat like a thousand suns
Lacerations on the wrists from the chains that bind
No end in sight, for this tortured mind
Patience thins
These old chains will break
When my rage hits its threshold
Patience thins
These old chains will break
When my rage hits its threshold

I am one with the beast
I fear its release
And as the days go by
The balance shifts

My inner chi is unscathed
But there's hell within me

One day rage will rule
The levee breaks
You'll drown in sorrow
And I will rest on the bodies of the dead
I need you to know

Even though I walk a path of virtue
Some of you, I really want to hurt you
For to know peace, you must know war
It's a path you've never had to walk before
To know peace, you must know war
This world is weak, it's rotten to the core
Lacerations on the wrists from the chains that bind
No end in sight for this tortured mind

Patience thins
These old chains will break
When my rage hits its threshold
Patience thins
These old chains will break
When my rage hits its threshold

Please release me
These words repeat for all eternity
Please the monotony
These days repeat for all eternity
