IN THE MOONLIGHT
[Verse 1]
In the moonlight, cold, the night awakes,
as if it rose for my own sake.
The forest stands and scrapes the sky,
as if it knows what grows inside.
I walk alone—but not quite so.
There’s something else within that glow.
A pull. A pressure. Raw. And sore.
It’s coming back. It’s craving more.
I feel it coming before it breaks,
before the beast inside me wakes.
My body wrestles for control,
before the pain devours me whole.
[Verse 2]
The world turns sharp. Too wild. Too near.
And suddenly it all seems clear.
I hear the smallest creature flee;
the breathing night moves into me.
I smell the rain, the stone-cold ground,
lost hope, a howl, a screaming sound.
The strength that used to hold me whole
now tears a chasm through my soul.
[Chorus]
A human heart, a guilty drive,
till only shadows stay alive.
Caught in the moon’s relentless might,
I lose myself again each night.
[Verse 3]
I want it back—my skin, my heart,
a life that pain won’t tear apart.
I think of warmth, a look, a hand,
of someone who could understand.
I brace myself. I do my best.
Still full of hope, though never blessed.
And with the voice that’s left to fight,
I spit one warning:
Not tonight.
But from beyond, the other calls—
a world with no mercy at all.
[Chorus 2]
Two worlds pull hard and split my soul,
and neither one will let me go.
Here heart and guilt; there instinct’s bite—
I lose myself from night to night.
[Breakdown]
Then it breaks loose through bone and chest.
Through every vow. Through every lust.
My spine convulses. Jaw locked tight.
My hands turn strange before my sight.
Deep under rage, beneath the need,
the last of me still glows and breathes.
But when my howling splits the sky
and pain curls where the shadows lie,
there’s something left, both raw and bright—
more than the rage.
One shard of light.
[Outro]
In the moonlight, cold, the night awakes.
I’m still right here. I hold my place.
And though the wolf may crush my heart,
one thread of hope survives the dark.
