The Beast Within - Klank

I’ve masked the pain

And lived the lie

At times I’ve said

I want to die

I’ve felt alone

In crowded rooms

Those thoughts within

They can consume

I’ve given all

Until I’ve bled

And felt the weight

Of tears I’ve shed

This lonely cell

I call my mind

Can be a tomb

I’ve come to find

Nobody knows

Just what it’s like

To contemplate

Ending your life

There comes a point

Of sink or swim

When you must face

The beast within

You can’t understand the feeling

If you’ve never walked a mile

We have and our feet are bleeding

I’ve had enough, we’ve had enough

So many lost

Along the way

If I had known

Some words to say

Those ones I love

Might still be here

To share the laughs

As well as tears

We see it more

Day after day

Another life

Ended this way

So much is lost

Yet nothing gained

When one succumbs

To their own pain

Nobody knows

Just what it’s like

To contemplate

Ending your life

There comes a point

Of sink or swim

When you must face

The beast within

You can’t understand the feeling

If you’ve never walked a mile

We have and our feet are bleeding

I’ve had enough, we’ve had enough
