There’s A Beast And We All Feed It (Live At The Royal Albert Hall, London, UK / 2014)

They grin, but they don't mean it
They sing, but they don't feel it
They come, but they don't see it
They can call, but they can't heed it
Think, but they don't speak it
There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and, yes, we feed it

Stop 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 eating every bit of beauty and, yes, we feed it

I'm not a finger pointer, I will not cry your name
Yeah, brothers and sisters, we all want in the same
When my sister suffers, when my mother cries
All I wanna do is look in someone's eyes and say

You sleep and you don't dream it
Sly, but you don't seem it
As busy as a flea pit
Struggle to perceive it
Is it hard to believe it?
There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and, yes, we feed it

I'm not a finger pointer, I will not cry your name
Yeah, brothers and sisters, we all want in the same
When my sister suffers, I am my mother's child
All I wanna do is look in someone's eyes and say

Somehow we fear to speak it
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 get to repeat it
There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and, yes, we all feed it
