If I told you my secret
Would it still be the same?
Would you love me and care
Would you call me your man
Would you cower in shame?
For the time is approaching
Where my choices will fade
And I'll need to confront
That I still live to hunt
That the night's calling me
I thought insanity was dead
I fought the voices in my head
Until I'd forced them to subside
But now they're back they're born anew
They try to tell me what to do
And I don't have the strength to close my mind
The moon is shining
And it's so enticing
I can't resist its calling
I stagger the alleys beastly
In pain as my limbs resist me
Claws where my fingers should be
Full moon rising, a fever
I'm reminded what I feed on
Full moon, rising in me
I'm a beast and I know
That inside I'm still a carnivore
There's blood in my mouth
I'm grinding my teeth
Roaring in pain
My muscles stretching within
Covered in hair
It's growing over my paws
It's hard to believe
I was human at all
And I'm trembling, terribly, tethered to traumatic twinges
Feeling faithless and feckless fading far into the fringes
Of my misplaced meninges, mind melting, morbidly mild
And I attempt at atonement alone awake and aloud
Full moon rising, a fever
