The Circle of Death

Inspired by Disturbed’s songs… We are the animal inside my soul, my soul We are the animal, so crack open my skull We are going insane inside our wearisome brain When will we be sane again? Is it all in vain? We’re running around in the circle of death We’re scorching our souls aflame once more, once more We’re running around in circles, so take a breath We’re neglecting our souls, so let the bodies hit the floor My brain is going insane on another lane of thought All I have is the strength that I got and it’s not a lot We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of death We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, losing our breath In the circle of death…the circle of death… We ran out of breath…there’s no way to breathe In the circle of death…the circle of death… We can’t handle the stress…we can’t go underneath We are the animal inside my soul, my soul We are the animal that is much like a bull We are getting mad as a whole, so have some desire and watch the show We are badass like the creatures, wandering ‘round the campfire below We’re running around in the circle of death We’re scorching our souls aflame once more, once more We’re running around in circles, so take a breath We’re neglecting our souls, so let the bodies fall to the floor My brain is going insane on another lane of thought All I have is the strength that I got and it’s not a lot We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of death We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, losing our breath In the circle of death…the circle of death… We ran out of breath…there’s no way to breathe In the circle of death…the circle of death… We can’t handle the stress…we can’t go underneath Our solace waters of the deep, in which we reap, Has followed us into darkness like long lost sheep We are running in circles for the sake of our lives of fiery lamentation We are running ‘round in circles, but we need a break from this desolation We’re running around in the circle of death We’re scorching our souls aflame once more, once more We’re running around in circles, so take a breath We’re neglecting our souls, so let the bodies collide to the floor My brain is going insane on another lane of thought All I have is the strength that I got and it’s not a lot We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of death We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, losing our breath In the circle of death…the circle of death… We ran out of breath…there’s no way to breathe In the circle of death…the circle of death… We can’t handle the stress…we can’t go underneath Breathe in and out, breathe in and out We will find a way out of here no doubt Please have no fear or shed a tear… We are but animals, needing to steer Our way out of the abyssal, bizarre black hole Everything once ugly now will become beautiful We are running around in circles in vain, Wishing and praying in the fire, in pain…acting oh so insane… We’re running around in the circle of death We’re scorching our souls aflame once more, once more We’re running around in circles, so take a breath We’re neglecting our souls, so let the bodies collapse to the floor My brain is going insane on another lane of thought All I have is the strength that I got and it’s not a lot We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of death We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, losing our breath In the circle of death…the circle of death… We ran out of breath…there’s no way to breathe In the circle of death…the circle of death… We can’t handle the stress…we can’t go underneath We’re running around in the circle of death, the circle of cries We’re in this vicious cycle of endlessness, nearing our demise We are victims of darksome distress… Chasing after decaying happiness… We are the animal inside my soul, inside my soul in appall… Get down upon your knees and repent before we all fall…
