Lunatic

Jump the sky, full moon, and my chest is torn
Broken apart like a dog with his jawbone struck
Digging the air for the deep dark water of night
I’m in the shadow of my gleaming claws tonight

Take a deep breath, nose flaring but my mouth is shut
Fire in my belly, and the bone of my teeth is hot
Steel rod in my neck and the cords are tight
I’m in the shadow of my gleaming claws tonight

Eyes ripped back with the tears of an angry soul
Choking the air with the breath of a hateful cold
I smell the terror of the ghost I’ll set free this night
I’m in the shadow of my gleaming claws tonight

Dead is the song of the dream of the flashing lights
Self crucified for a deed that has set to right
Violence invisible and the devil’s white
I’m in the shadow of my gleaming claws tonight
