[Verse 1]
I was jawing by the fence line
Cold beer, cheap grin, midnight
Then that shadow broke the treeline
Two red eyes, teeth like a knife
He came fast through the briars
Tore my sleeve, hit my skin
Felt that burn run higher
Like the moon got under my ribs
I tried to laugh it off
Tried to shake that curse away
But my pulse went wolf-hard
And my bones started to pray
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that crack in my chest
Hear that growl in my throat
Don’t you look at me next
When the silver starts to show
[Chorus]
Moonmark bite
Moonmark bite
I was gone by dawn
Moonmark bite
Moonmark bite
Now the beast walks on
(Moonmark bite)
[Verse 2]
Fingertips went to claws
Hands got broad, then lean
Couldn’t fit in my skin
Like I outgrew the machine
My shadow learned to hunt
My lungs learned smoke and rain
Every sound got loud
Every scent became a name
I smell your fear on the porch
I hear your chain go slack
One bad bite, one wrong turn
And there’s no walking back
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that crack in my chest
Hear that growl in my throat
Don’t you call me your friend
When the moon grabs hold
[Chorus]
Moonmark bite
Moonmark bite
I was gone by dawn
Moonmark bite
Moonmark bite
Now the beast walks on
(Moonmark bite)
[Bridge]
Mama locked the back door
Daddy begged the Lord
But I broke through the frame
With my face against the floor
If you hear me out there
Don’t come chasing my name
I’m still somewhere inside
Under fur and flame
[Chorus]
Moonmark bite
Moonmark bite
I was gone by dawn
Moonmark bite
Moonmark bite
Now the beast walks on
(Moonmark bite)
