There's A Beast And We All Feed It Lyrics - Shangri La - Jake Bugg

They grin but they don't mean it 

They sing but they don't feel it 

They're gone but they don't see it 

They can call but they can't heed it 

They think but they don't speak it 

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and they all feed it 

Stop a moment try to freeze it 

They find and they don't seek it 

At the bar but they can't meet it 

Try their best but they can't beat it 

Nice car somebody keys it 

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes they feed it

I'm not a finger pointer 

I will not cry your name 

For yeah brothers and sisters 

We are one in the same 

But when my sister suffers 

And when my mother cries 

All I want to do is look in someone's eyes and say 

You sleep and you don't dream it 

You're sly but you don't seem it 

You're busy as a flea pit 

You struggle to perceive it 

Is it hard to believe it 

there's a beast eating every bit of beauty and yes you feed it 

I'm not a finger pointer 

I will not cry your name 

For yeah brothers and sisters we are one and the same 

But when my sister suffers 

I am my mother's child 

All I want to do is look in someone's eyes and say 

Photos 

Somehow we fear to speak it 

We're scared someone will tweet it 

It's on the wall but you won't read it 

It's gone before you see it 

We all dread to re-repeat it 

There's a beast eating bit of beauty yes we can all feed it
