There’s a beast that lives inside you, and it’s screaming “Let me out!”  
It’s a storm that’s never ending, it’s a truth without a doubt  
Now love can be a whisper, but pain will always shout to you  
Like the beat of a heart

There’s a she wolf in the closet,  
Open up and set it free  
There’s a she wolf in the closet,  
Let it out so it can breathe

Breathe, breathe in the air  
Don’t be afraid to care  
Leave but don’t leave me  
Look around and choose your own ground

Love on the air  
I keep transmitting but reception is hazy  
I don’t get an answer, keep sending it faster  
Always knew it was crazy to put my love on the air

Oh, crazy

I’m crazy for trying  
And crazy for crying  
And I’m crazy for loving you

[“Crazy” by a band named Pylon:]

You’re in love and you don’t know why  
You’re in love and you can’t even cry  
You’re in love and you don’t know why  
You’re in love and you don’t even try

And if I built this fortress around your heart  
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire  
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm  
And let me set the battlements on fire

A court is in session, a verdict is in  
No appeal on the docket today, just my own sin  
The walls are cold and pale, the cage made of steel  
Screams fill the room

I stare at the gray walls before me,  
I see her face in the stone.  
I try to imagine our baby,  
I wish they would let me go home.

Torture and hell in this town
