The Beast Within by Eric J. Kauch a.k.a Responsible Pedestrian Another "Oldie but goodie"!! I wrote this one back in 1999. Very dark time in my life. But exquisite lyrics!! See for yourself. Enjoy. EJ Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1vg8ElaOSYEmpty eyes - And an open mouth filled up with lies In my dreams I have seen something morbidly obscene And I think it's tryin' to take my life! I'm petrified - So I find a place to go run and hide The beast within's back again and it's uglier than sin And I think it's tryin' to take my life! It's very hard to explain What is wrong with my brain I had a psych evaluation and they said I was sane But it's no use! I can't get loose from this self-imposed abuse And I can't get myself out of this place!! Lord, I cry!! Help me now and save me from my demise! Hear my plea! Set me free from this beast inside of me Cause I think it's tryin' to take my life! I'm oh, so tired and disdained In my mind I am chained To this condition of suspicion and this beast I must blame But every day and every night, though I kick and scream and fight I just can't get myself out of this place!! Empty eyes - And an open mouth filled up with lies! The beast within's back again. I'm already sighted in And I think it's tryin' to take my life!! Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1vg8ElaOSY

Well done. Good live performance. I am sure the lyrics mean a lot to you and perhaps writing the song helped get rid of whatever was bothering you.

"If one man can do it, any man can do it. It is true. But the real question is, if one man did it, are you willing to do what it takes to do it as well?" –Brian Austin Whitney
