Intro verse 1 There's a beast in e_very man who breathes With him from birth until beside him in the grave A hi_deous presence just aching for release Its chains aren't as strong as its memo__ry It lies dormant so far from dead Bridge Grating on me, this uninvited sense Its whisper like branches as they bend Twisting, grinding just threatening to snap verse 2 Floods of frustration, cascading in my skull On the axis back and forth, the swinging pendulum So much damage, bashing each wall I hear the sand pounding in the hourglass as it falls Pre-Chorus Sometimes I just wish I could shut it all Chorus Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off Bridge There it is again, telling you you can't That lump in your throat, you fight to swallow back There it is again, hoping that you won't Wishing failure but not giving up the ghost verse 3 Silent voices, stabbing at peace Pushing off fingers from the ledge of sanity Like a thousand leeches, feeding on your wits Making something meaningless seem significant Pre-Chorus Sometimes I just wish I could shut it all Chorus Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off verse 4 This uninvited guest inside my brain With every threat whispered I feel no__thing And when I'm at my best it inter__venes How can I get anyone else to relate Interlude Silent voices, stabbing at peace On the edge, pushing my fingers off, off Chorus Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
