Lyrics King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Altered Beast IV
Text:
Narrator:
You don’t feel a thing in your sinuous head
No love, no pain, and no fear of dread
Your apathetic dispassion has made you distort
You’d wound a small creature and watch it wiggle
And lust to feel so bad, that you’d force a giggle
So crooked and curled is your point of view
There is no other creature more malicious than you
I’m completely satisfied
My other life I will not miss
An altered beast until I die
And I will not give up on this
Never!
True, I went to hell and back
But it was so I could be this
An altered beast until the end
And I will not give up on this
Never!
I don’t feel heinous
I don’t feel no pain
I don’t feel nothing
I don’t feel anything
I don’t feel heinous
I don’t feel no pain
I don’t feel nothing
I don’t feel anything
Altered Beast within me
I don’t feel heinous
I don’t feel no pain
I don’t feel anything
Narrator:
You’re ruthless, and savage, and sadistic, and vindictive
And you find human flesh is incredibly addictive
But the longer you live, and the longer you kill
There’s a void that gets harder, and harder to fill
The void that you feel within would suggest
That a canyon has opened up inside of your chest
And whatever you do, there’s no turning back
You’ve reached the end of the cul-de-sac
Emptiness inside of me
And hollowness all around me
I cut myself to see it bleed
And now I don’t feel anything
Never!
Insincere and trivial
The world is void of all meaning
And gone is all that’s visceral
And now I don’t feel anything
Never!
I don’t feel heinous
I don’t feel no pain
I don’t feel nothing
I don’t feel anything
I don’t feel heinous
I don’t feel no pain
I don’t feel nothing
I don’t feel anything
Altered Beast within me
I don’t feel heinous
I don’t feel no pain
I don’t feel nothing
I don’t feel anything
I don’t feel heinous
I don’t feel no pain
I don’t feel nothing
I don’t feel anything
Altered Beast within me
I don’t feel heinous
I don’t feel no pain
I don’t feel nothing
I don’t feel anything
Narrator:
The sole thing that will make your void obsolete
Is to find someone new, some sapid fresh meat
Altered beast
Alter me
Altered beast
Alter me
I think I see
An altered beast inside me, oh!
I am an altered beast
