Fuck a wolf-man, man. This is Man-Wolf!!

lyrics

He awoke to find his hands all covered in blood
terrified it might have belonged to somebody he loved
he tried to make sense of what happened abrupt
was the feeling this was not the first time this happened thus
Reactions decreased it was becoming more frequent
shut his eyes trying to recall the whole sequence of events minded the same as last weekend pause, breath, relax, blood needs reason
Freaking out a little turned the tv on to see if
perhaps his actions were tonight's feature
Sure enough, there is was 3 teens deceased in
Animalistic fashion all ripped up to pieces
Jesus, how could I have done this I can't believe what
I have become when I thought that I was sleeping
Some kind of beast, monster or great demon
Coupled with that fear was a strange feeling of freedom

I don't mind that I know I'm not going anywhere, not going anywhere.

I'm here on the scene of unbelievable carnage
Three teens seemingly eaten, left in the garbage
This hard ship reminds us that...
The tv went on to regard this
as one in a series of murders that all started
Two weeks prior on an unsuspecting evening
Witnesses identified the culprit as being
roughly six three, with sharp teeth, eyes beaming
Becoming something special when he thought he had been sleeping
Finally saw himself as different from the pack
And animal in his nature with everything they had lack
And though this would make him a target to be hunted
At least he was something that the people really wanted
Fodder for folk lore, a legend to be confronted
only by the bravest of men and although some did
See him as an evil he knew the village would envy
This new feeling of substance where others were left empty

He thought man kind will revel and tell the tail of my passing
A lasting glory you can't ask for laughing
Basked in how notorious he had been acting
Applying a profound deeper meaning to his happening
Just then remembered as he climbed into bed
A humble feeling as the television said
The beast was caught and presumed dead
HOORAYYYYYY!!!!
How can this be, I'm the one in need of the capture
I'm the terrible one causing all this disaster
History will recall of those so scared of me
Just then reality flipped polarity
Looking at his hands, which were totally clean
It seems he wasn't as bad as he wanted to believe
Assumptions are assumptions and we get what we need
Growing on the notion that he became the beast.
