Well ever since I was a young lad being told what I could be
Anything you dare to ask for, anything but here you see
There's a catch you are an apple, underneath a rotten tree
Roll on back to where you came from, coz thats all that you will be
If I'm told It's in my blood, I say my blood is thick enough that It won't run
I turn cold don't want to feed that beast within me
I try my best to put up walls to stay sedated and subdued
But that beast still slips through
When I find myself in slumber when I'm deep asleep
That beast in metamorphosis reveals I'm a black sheep
Sent to break the chains of old, I'm told, 'It runs in the family'
Well I won't let that old habit again have it's hold on me
If I'm told It's in my blood, I say my blood is thick enough that It won't run
I turn cold don't want to feed that beast within me
I try my best to put up walls to stay sedated and subdued
But that beast still slips through
Yeah that beast still slips through
