[Verse 1]
Moonrise in a motel mirror
Bloodshot eyes and a crooked grin
Fangs flash when the fever hits me
Claws scrape at my own skin
Breath burning like midnight whiskey
I don't fit in my own face
Some nights I’m hunting the hunger
Some nights I’m running from the chase
[Chorus]
I’m a halfbreed heart in a borrowed body
Too much hunger for a human soul
Tear myself apart just to feel somebody
I’m the silver in the bullet and the trigger you pull
Yeah
A halfbreed heart
Too wild to tame
Too dead to die at all
[Verse 2]
Black coat on a backroad Sunday
Sunrise bites through the clouds
Ash taste on a split tongue prayer
I’m howling just to drown me out (oh)
Neighbors lock all their shutters
They feel teeth in every word
But I’m just scared of the silence
Where the monster starts to stir
[Chorus]
I’m a halfbreed heart in a borrowed body
Too much hunger for a human soul
Tear myself apart just to feel somebody
I’m the silver in the bullet and the trigger you pull
Yeah
A halfbreed heart
Too wild to tame
Too dead to die at all
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms
Guitar feedback swells]
Tell me
Is there a cure for this?
For a boy buried under the beast? (hey)
If I sink my teeth in the darkness
Will it finally let me sleep?
[Chorus]
I’m a halfbreed heart in a borrowed body
Too much hunger for a human soul
Tear myself apart just to feel somebody
I’m the silver in the bullet and the trigger you pull
I’m a halfbreed heart
Broken and bloody
Still out looking for a place to fall
Too wild to tame
Too dead to love me
I’m the curse and the cure and the writing on the wall
Yeah
A halfbreed heart
Too wild to tame
Too dead to die at all
