There's a beast and we all feed it

They grin but they don´t mean it
They sing but they don´t feel it
They´re gone but they don´t see it
They can call but they can´t heed it
They think but they don´t speak it
There´s a beast eating every bit of beauty
And they all feed it
Stop a moment, try to freeze it
They find and they don´t seek it
At the bar but they can´t meet it
Try their best but they can´t beat it
Nice car, somebody keys it
There´s a beast easting every bit of beauty
And yes they feed it
I´m not a finger pointer
I will not cry your name
For yeah brothers and sisters
We are one ´n´ the same
But when my sister suffers
And when my mother cries
All I want to do
Is look in someone´s eyes and say
You sleep but you don´t dream it
You´re sly but you don´t seem it
You´re busy as a flea pit
You struggle to perceive it
It is hard to believe it
There´s a beast eating every bit of beauty
And yes you feed it
I´m not a finger pointer
I will not cry your name
For yeah brothers and sisters
We are one ´n´ the same
But when my sister suffers
And when my mother cries
All I want to do
Is look in someone´s eyes and say
Somehow we´d better speak it
We´re scared someone will tweet it
It´s on the wall but you won´t read it
It´s gone before you see it
We all dread to repeat it
There´s a beast eating every bit of beauty
And yes we all feed it
They sing but they don´t feel it
They´re gone but they don´t see it
They can call but they can´t heed it
They think but they don´t speak it
There´s a beast eating every bit of beauty
And they all feed it
Stop a moment, try to freeze it
They find and they don´t seek it
At the bar but they can´t meet it
Try their best but they can´t beat it
Nice car, somebody keys it
There´s a beast easting every bit of beauty
And yes they feed it
I´m not a finger pointer
I will not cry your name
For yeah brothers and sisters
We are one ´n´ the same
But when my sister suffers
And when my mother cries
All I want to do
Is look in someone´s eyes and say
You sleep but you don´t dream it
You´re sly but you don´t seem it
You´re busy as a flea pit
You struggle to perceive it
It is hard to believe it
There´s a beast eating every bit of beauty
And yes you feed it
I´m not a finger pointer
I will not cry your name
For yeah brothers and sisters
We are one ´n´ the same
But when my sister suffers
And when my mother cries
All I want to do

There´s a beast eating every bit of beauty
