Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wild beast freakout release
Wild beast freakout release
Wild beast freakout release
Black teeth freakout release
[Verse 2]
Music used to be escape
Now I can't escape it
I feel trapped in the world
But life's what you make it
[Verse 3]
I'm losing my taste for this feeling
Give me a sign I can start to believe in
Don't know if we're coming or leaving
I need an escape and some primitive healing
[Verse 4]
Wild beast freakout release
Wild beast freakout release
Wild beast freakout release
Black teeth freakout release
[Verse 5]
Music used to be enough
Now people leave it or take it
Make a sound and throw the shapes
You never could fake it
[Verse 6]
There was a time I could reach you
We gathered together in search of a break-through
But now that I almost can taste you
I know that you're close and my mind can't escape you
[Verse 7]
Wild beast freakout release
Wild beast freakout release
Wild beast freakout release
Black teeth freakout release
[Verse 8]
Make a sound and throw the shapes
You never could fake it
Throw it too far away
And risk that we break it
Music used to be escape
[Verse 9]
Right to West, left to East
Right to West, freakout release
Right to West, left to East
Right to West, freakout release
