Lyrics
[verse]
Something's clawing underneath my skin
Locked the door but the wolf got in
I don't know this face I see
Somebody else is staring back at me
[verse]
Chained my temper to a rusted wall
Still it breaks the links and rises tall
Every night I try to hide
But the storm keeps building up inside
[chorus]
Don't come near me when the dark takes hold
I'm a creature that the light won't hold
Run before the fever burns you too
This is what my anger's turned me to
Call it monster, call it beast, call it wild
I was never built to stay this mild
[verse]
Used to be a quiet kind of man
Now I barely trust my own two hands
Every mirror shows a stranger's eyes
Growling underneath these calm disguise
[chorus]
Don't come near me when the dark takes hold
I'm a creature that the light won't hold
Run before the fever burns you too
This is what my anger's turned me to
Call it monster, call it beast, call it wild
I was never built to stay this mild
[bridge]
Somebody save me from the thing I've made
Locked inside this cage I built and stayed
Tell me there's a way to break the spell
Before I lose myself completely, is this hell
[chorus]
Don't come near me when the dark takes hold
I'm a creature that the light won't hold
Run before the fever burns you too
This is what my anger's turned me to
Call it monster, call it beast, call it wild
I was never built to stay this mild
