DISLAIMER: I am a songwriter first, and singer a very distant second. This song (like most I write) was not written to fit my own vocal register. Props to Adam Bow for helping with recording, mixing, and making it sound as good as it does. Lyrics, vocals and guitar by me, studio magic by Adam.

Lyrics:

Am I going back?
I’m sure I was something other once
Study my tracks
Tell me they don’t make you shudder

Sun’s shining on a great cocoon
A moth breaking into flight
Morning rushing on to noon
and creeping into night

Tell me I’m no
Frightful strange thing
Nightly changing

Metamorphic bones
Lycanthropic dreams and stranger’s tracks
Am I my own?
I imagine countless dangers

Cracks forming on a great cocoon
A moth breaking into flight
Morning rushing on to noon
and creeping into night

Light shining from a waxing moon
A moth breaking into flight
Evening rushing on from noon
And creeping out of night

Tell me I’m no
Frightful changeling
Nightly ranging
Frightful strange thing
Nightly changing
