When the wolf comes howlin'
And you hide deep beneath your skin
To keep the beast within
Your thoughts are haunting
Violent and hungry
Showing no mercy
Like the dark after dusk (dusk)
The dark after dusk (dusk)
Those dangerous emotions raging up again
Try to keep the beast within

When the wolf comes howlin'
And you hide deep beneath your skin
To keep the beast within
(The beast within, the beast within)
How you gonna walk the line?
Are you gonna talk this time?
Don't panic as you navigate
The shadows that are inside
'Cause you're blind to what's in front of you
Bury the pain, sink into the deep, dark oblivion
Oblivious to all of the lies you told to keep your sanity
You need a remedy to cure your vanity
Danger! I'm rising up with anger
This fury fills my veins
Breaking out of its cage
Please help me
Are you scared of what's inside?
The creatures clouding your mind
The wicked feelings you hide
No reason to run from the monsters
The monsters this time
Your thoughts are haunting
Violent and hungry
Showing no mercy
Like the dark after dusk (dusk)
The dark after dusk (dusk)
Those dangerous emotions raging up again
Try to keep the beast within

You lie in bed thinking everything is fine
Mind so clouded by your arrogance that you can't see the signs (hey!)
I see the signs, help me, doctor
I know that I'm out of control, losing my soul and
Every day my psyche's fighting me and I don't know
If I can keep up the struggle so I-I-I'm just gonna (hey!)
Bite my tongue, taste the sting
Bite my tongue, taste the sting (social abyss)
