[Lyric] A Thinly Veiled Metaphor (Roza Redd)

I come face to face with the beast in the dead of night
I know if I'm to best it I’m going to have to put up quite a fight
But I can't, I'm unable to
God knows I wish I could but I’m just not capable
The beast comes up It pulls me under
It stabs my stomach, I hear a crack of thunder
I try to fight but can't, I'm all alone
Me against the beast, I'm in the thunderdome
The fight goes on. Over days through years
It starts the break me down, using every fear
When then I see it, out of the corner of my eye
You standing thеre, I begin to cry
You're just stood thеre A sparkling glimmer of hope
In your hand a buoy ring attached to a rope
You throw it in and start to pull me out the water
Patch up my wound. Call me a doctor

The beast at night

It's never over, even though I'm out of the water
It never will be. I talk to you I start to falter
It's coming back, I hear it roar
I don’t know if I can do, I can’t take it anymore
Fire in its stomach, it wraps around my neck
It doesn't choke me out. It’s just keeping me in check
It wants to tortures me, or at least it wants to try
If it doesn't soon let up than I will surely die
And I'm hoping I can make long enough to break through it
And I hope that if I beat it it will stop putting me through this
Pain and misery every single fucking day
Every waking hour i pain in every fucking way
And I'm tired of the bullshit maybe I can put a stop
To this beast like a fable perhaps written by Aesop
So I stab it in the eye and scream at the top of my lungs
My beast is finally dead
The beast at night
The beast at night
The beast at night
The beast at night
The beast at night
The beast at night
The beast at night
Is finally gone
