Beast

You want everything for free
State your wants and claim your needs
Life sure is a breeze
For the beast who only thinks of the feed

Giving back? you never could
You strip my fores,t of all it's wood
In the barren soil you plant a bead
For a fair trade smile I agreed
That you were all the gift I needed given back to me!

You spoke of the greedy you met in the past
Screaming please don't stomp our homes in your path
How dare they talk to you like that?
Were you to leap over like some fucking acrobat?

I request an audience
You oblige your humble serf
Please, I'm starved half to death
May I have more than dirt?
When you scoff, but give in
Ask why I didn't gnaw at my own skin?
You won't let it go
I give you time
The clock runs laps around my mind

You want everything for free
State your wants and claim your needs
Life sure is a breeze
For the beast who only thinks of the feed
Giving back? you never could
You strip my forest of all it's wood
In the barren soil you plant a bead
Nothing grew beneath our feet
You built this rift between us now just let me be
