Johnny Cash - "The Beast In Me."

The beast in me
Is caged by frail and fragile bonds
Restless by day
And by night, rants and rages at the stars
God help the beast in me

The beast in me
Has had to learn to live with pain
And how to shelter from the rain
And in the twinkling of an eye
Might have to be restrained
God help the beast in me

Sometimes
It tries to kid me that it's just a teddy bear
Or even somehow managed
To vanish in the air
And that is when I must beware
Of the beast in me

That everybody knows
They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
Patently unclear
If it's New York or New Year
God help the beast in me
The beast in me

Three Days Grace - "Animal I Have Become."

I can't escape this hell,
So many times I've tried,
But I'm still caged inside,
Somebody get me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself.

So what if you can see,
The darkest side of me,
No one will ever change this animal I have become.
Help me believe it's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal.
(This animal.)

I can't escape myself,( I can't escape myself)
So many times I've lied, ( so many times I've lied)
But there's still rage inside,
Somebody get me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself.

So what if you can see,
The darkest side of me,
No one will ever change this animal I have become.

Help me believe it's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become.
Help me believe it's not the real me,
Somebody help me tame this animal.

Somebody help me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself.
Somebody wake me from this nightmare,
I can't escape this hell.

This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal

So what if you can see,
The darkest side of me,
No one will ever change this animal I have become.

Help me believe it's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become.
Help me believe it's not the real me,
Somebody help me tame this animal.

This animal I have become.

One Dove - "Breakdown."

The moon, the moonlight
Casts no shadow for me to hide
The stars, or maybe they're satellites
But neither can grant my wish tonight

And if the moon is an aid to romance everywhere
Why is the night so full of dark despair
And only dark can wax and wane
And the small hours are hard to bear

(Cry)
Breakdown and cry (I Cry for you)
Breakdown and cry (Cry)
Breakdown and cry
Cry (I do)

The clouds, heavy and grey
Make me wonder why I stay
Alone, every night
And every day is just the same

I remember the night you left me
The moon was full, I felt empty
Tides and werewolves may be turned
But you don't know how to cry

(Cry)
Breakdown and cry (I Cry for you)
Breakdown and cry (Cry)
Breakdown and cry
Cry (I do)

Sr71 - "Another Night Alone."

Alone again tonight
In this empty time
The sounds in my head
The sight leaves me blind

I'll write a million words
I'll sing until it hurts
How far could this be
Until it's seen

How long will I let this go
I can't stand to spend another night alone

I stare at the empty walls
I speak, no one hears
I make every excuse
And blame my fears

All these shadows come to rest
In my head
I can't see you
I can't hear the things you said

There is a secret place
You'll find a bloodstained fence
It's there the future speaks
And she spoke to me.
