lyrics

THE NIGHT INSIDE. Oh my love, I have seen such things as would mortify you – projected on the back of my eyes, this theatre of debauchery. These silver screens have shown me such things as would horrify you – uncut fantasies so torrid; horrid visions haunt me. I deny the night inside, dark desires as old as time. There’s a strength that comes with love… but I fear it’s not enough. All my life, I have done good things for both friends and strangers – giving of myself so freely, doing as I would have done. But my love, I have thought such things as would terrify you – a dead-eyed rage that sleeps in my blood, this killer that yearns to be free… free. Every once in a while, the shackles slip from eager wrists and self-indulgence is the only law that does exist. Sex and death and blood and breath – the needs of flesh will never rest. Culture is nothing but the repression of biology – tear away the thin veneer and see the beast in you and me. Sex and death and blood and breath, the primal right of violence. The bite, the kiss, the fight, the fist – the bottom line is always this: “Free me!” If you would love me, then know these things – feel the darkness in me. See the savage behind my smile and take me deeper just the same. All my life, I have tried so hard, and I’ll keep on trying to keep the beast beneath the trapdoor – but there are no guarantees…
