The Beast Doesn’t Answer

I feel your weight under my skin Heavy and quiet, waiting to win Yo—oh— You lean toward the sharpest want You pull me where the power goes You never ask me what it costs I let you speak inside my chest I let you set the tone Yo—eh— That pull you feel Is not the deal Wanting power isn’t living It’s only standing closed You promise me protection You promise I won’t fall But every time I follow you I feel a little less I don’t fight you yet I just hesitate Yo—oh— Love doesn’t need to conquer Love doesn’t need to win Love is how you leave the room When power pulls you in I hear you reaching for the crown I feel you tense and wait But I’m tired of weighing me down Yo—ah— You don’t owe the beast your life You don’t owe it proof Turning toward love Is already truth You can keep your hunger You can keep your crown I’m walking where I’m not driven By wanting more Yo—oh— Leave the beast Walk in love
