Beast Unleashed

there is something within me 
I do not want the world to see

for when the power is unleashed 
I cannot tame the beast

if you should continue to breath
I would suggest that you leave

for what it leaves within its wake
an awful power I cannot shake

I never meant to hurt a soul
but I usually out do my role

for all the pain I have seen
has shown me what it is to be mean

all my sins shall be known
for its not something I've out grown

lock me up, throw away the key
only then can you be free
