King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Altered Beast IV lyrics

[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
And your savoir faire is to kill for sport
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

[Verse 1]
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!

[Verse 2]
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!

[Chorus]
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]
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

[Verse 3]
Emptiness inside of me
And hollowness all around me
I cut myself to see it bleed
And now I don't feel anything
Never!

[Verse 4]
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!

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Altered beast
Alter me
Altered beast
Alter me
I think I see
An altered beast inside me, oh!
I am an altered beast
