Something’s Off Hatebreed

There's a beast in every man who breathes
With him from birth until beside him in the grave
A hideous presence just aching for release
Its chains aren't as strong as its memory

It lies dormant so far from dead
Grating on me, this uninvited sense
Its whisper like branches as they bend
Twisting, grinding just threatening to snap

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

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wish I could shut it all
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
