They sing but they don't feel it
They're gone but they don't see it
They can call but they can't heed it
They think but they don't speak it
There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and they all feed it
Stop a moment try to freeze it
They find and they don't seek it
At the bar but they can't meet it
Try their best but they can't beat it
Nice car somebody keys it
There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes they feed it
I'm not a finger pointer
I will not cry your name
For yeah brothers and sisters
We are one in the same
But when my sister suffers
And when my mother cries
All I want to do is look in someone's eyes and say
You sleep and you don't dream it
You're sly but you don't seem it
You're busy as a flea pit
You struggle to perceive it
Is it hard to believe it
There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes you feed it
I'm not a finger pointer
I will not cry your name
For yeah brothers and sisters we are one and the same
But when my sister suffers
I am my mother's child
All I want to do is look in someone's eyes and say
Somehow we fear to speak it
We're scared someone will tweet it
It's on the wall but you won't read it
It's gone before you see it
We all dread to re-repeat it
There's a beast eating bit of beauty yes we can all feed it
They grin but they don't mean it They sing but they don't feel it They're gone but they don't see it They can call but they can't heed it They think but they don't speak it There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and they all feed it Stop a moment try to freeze it They find and they don't seek it At the bar but they can't meet it Try their best but they can't beat it Nice car somebody keys it There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes they feed it I'm not a finger pointer I will not cry your name For yeah brothers and sisters We are one in the same But when my sister suffers And when my mother cries All I want to do is look in someone's eyes and say You sleep and you don't dream it You're sly but you don't seem it You're busy as a flea pit You struggle to perceive it Is it hard to believe it There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes you feed it I'm not a finger pointer I will not cry your name For yeah brothers and sisters we are one and the same But when my sister suffers I am my mother's child All I want to do is look in someone's eyes and say Somehow we fear to speak it We're scared someone will tweet it It's on the wall but you won't read it It's gone before you see it We all dread to re-repeat it There's a beast eating bit of beauty yes we can all feed it Explain Request ×
