about

We think we are so special. Above all wrongs as we kill for our hunger, our labor, or land. This song is about illness that can move in at any time . A cancer, a virus that does all it can to survive. Making us the victim. Are victims the only good guys? Although I can easily place many a face in the role of the victim as I sing this song. It is hard to see another slant to the story, because like a bee that sticks my side, doesn't it die once the fight is over? This germ trapped in our bodies, buried in the earth, with no love in the distance?

lyrics

-the beast inside of me-
surreal touch of paradise
real nice i do not need it
engrave en grown parasite
grown into the tv set ..climb the walls
measured to stretch
popped pills never carry beyond the instance
little demon underbelly
ties chance to unknown circumstance
but doubt swells beyond the difference
between a chip on the shoulder and a pat in the back
there is no way... could just be no way
there could be any love in the distance
enough to fill any wishes ...no way
rage devours forgiveness
enraged minds bout blind deceived
this fury roots its existence deep inside of me
deep inside of me
the beast inside of me
