Beast & Beauty

[Verse 1]
Born on the wrong side of mercy
Raised up in rust and rain
Every mirror that I looked in
Showed teeth and claws and shame
I wore my anger like armor
I tore up every room
Sleepin' in a bed of bottle caps
Howlin' at the moon
[Chorus]
But my beast found beauty
When you walked in that night (oh yeah)
You laid your little hand
On my busted
Broken life
You looked straight through me
Past the scars and the fight
My beast found beauty
And you taught my darkness light
[Verse 2]
They called me trouble in leather
Said I was born to lose
Heart like a backroad bar fight
Soul in worn-out boots
You walked in soft as Sunday
Eyes like summer rain
Pulled up a chair in my chaos
Spoke my secret name
[Chorus]
My beast found beauty
When you stood by my side (hey!)
You kissed the blood and bruise
Didn’t flinch at what I hide
You looked straight through me
Saw a man I couldn’t find
My beast found beauty
Now I ain't the same inside
[Bridge]
You tamed the growl in my chest
Turned it into a low-down hymn
Took these hands built for breakin'
Made ‘em gentle on your skin
If you ever start to wonder
What you did to me
You turned a barroom monster
Into someone who can breathe
[Chorus]
‘Cause my beast found beauty
And I’m learning how to heal (oh yeah)
You turned my ragged story
Into something I can feel
You look right through me
To the boy that had to hide
My beast found beauty
Now I’m walkin’ in your light

rock, Blues-rock ballad with a gritty halftime groove, overdriven guitars, and a smoky organ bed. Male vocals sit raw and upfront, verses riding a low simmer, then choruses explode with big drums and stacked harmonies. Mid-song, the band pulls back for a hushed bridge, then slams into a triumphant final chorus with soaring lead guitar fills., blues
