[Verse 1]
The djinn in the ashtray grin
Three wishes deep in my skin
Werewolf teeth on the chain-link gate
He smells my fear, he smells my fate
Vampire nails on the window frame
He says my name like a funeral game
Shapeshifter eyes in a borrowed face
I know that smile, I know that trace
[Pre-Chorus]
The fae in the frost-blue creek
Pulls me under when I speak
Dragons sleep in the quarry dust
They wake up mean when the moon gets кровь
I hear the ridge start to groan
Something old is calling me home
[Chorus]
Run with monsters
Run with monsters
When the night bites back, we bite harder
Run with monsters
Run with monsters
I was born for the dark, not the harbor
[Verse 2]
The werewolf runs through the cornfield black
Silver chain rattling on his back
A vampire laughs with a split-red lip
Counting my pulse with every sip
A fae girl dances in a blood-stained dress
Leaves cold flowers on my chest
Shapeshifter turns in my borrowed skin
Says, “Come on in,” then lets me in
Djinn smoke curls from the dead-end road
Promising power, asking for my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
The moon hangs low like a blade
Over bones that never stayed
Dragons circle the rusted mill
Breathing fire through the window sill
I can feel that old heat rise
In my throat and in my eyes
[Chorus]
Run with monsters
Run with monsters
When the night bites back, we bite harder
Run with monsters
Run with monsters
I was born for the dark, not the harbor
[Bridge]
If they want a king, I’ll wear the crown
Made of teeth and storm-torn sound
If they want a saint, I’ll let it burn
Let the graveyard talk in turns
Djinn, wolf, bat, and fae
All my ghosts come out to play
And when the dragon opens wide
I’ll step in with the blackened pride
[Final Chorus]
Run with monsters
Run with monsters
When the night bites back, we bite harder
Run with monsters
Run with monsters
I was born for the dark, not the harbor
Run with monsters
Run with monsters
If the world goes cold, we get hotter
