((Verse 1))
Pace yourself
Quiet steps
Hide away
Heal yourself
Open motion
Cruel gaze
Something underneath
Changing shape
Unknown agony
Unseen frame
Bones rehearsing
Ancient names
Unaltered state of mind
Still awake behind the eyes
Changing shape but still myself
Just wearing different skin tonight
⸻
((Pre-Chorus))
Every month the same eclipse
Muscle memory in the wrists
No more panic in the pulse
Only instinct learning this
⸻
((Chorus))
Aaaah OOOOOOOOOOOoOOOoooo
I can feel the lunar pull
The shift into the killing pose
So easy once you’ve been here before
Like the beast was always there
Hidden by this weakening disguise
Teeth beneath a human grin
Buried under practiced manners
I don’t fight it anymore
I just let the fever climb
Changing shape but not the soul
Still myself on the other side
⸻
((Verse 2))
Fingernails against the sink
Static buzzing through my teeth
Joints unlocking one by one
Like machinery underneath
Curtains closed
Telephone dead
Counting breaths inside my head
There’s a rhythm to the breaking
There’s a science to the pain
After hundred repetitions
Terror doesn’t feel the same
⸻
((Bridge / Instrumental Build)))
((Dissonant guitars, staggered drums, heartbeat tom pattern))
Hunter
Patient
Animal precision
Moonlight
White noise
Predatory vision
⸻
((Final Chorus))
I can feel the lunar pull
Silver flooding through my blood
Every scar remembers how
To open like a flower does
Like the beast was always there
Buried underneath my name
Not possession
Not infection
Just another form of change
