lyrics

I sit outside the bar and I count all the stars in the sky, tonight.
Billions of pieces all scattered apart, living separate lives.

I recall all the times that I waited outside for my name to be called
hundreds of faces, all freckled and white, well they came, they saw,
they left, they came, they saw....

And I've seen all the beasties, I know all the reasons they say
"be good, and eat your greens
and mind all your manners, be careful, stay scared,
monsters attack when you're unaware."

But then, young and aching to prove I knew best,
went out on my own to the lake of Loch Ness
Two pale, freckled faces followed me there.
I woke up less whole, but more aware.

Now I
feel entitled to the monsters I fight
It brings out the light in my parents eyes
I shouldv'e lost my sight on the lake that night
'Cause now all I see are monsters in human hides.

Human hides....

I sit outside on patches of grass flecked by matches and cigarettes
Bottle of scotch in one hand and I'm nauseous, as far as I get.

I feel well-adjusted most of the time,
the future looks brighter, I'm suturing mine.
Plenty parts left of me, pieces to loose.
I'm a breed so unique that I'm always excused.

When I
feel entitled to the monsters I fight
It brings out the light in my parents eyes
I shouldv'e lost my sight on the lake that night
'Cause now all I see are monsters in human hides.

And I'm the Last True Knight, That's my God given right.
I got the boom in my blood and I'll burn out bright
I couldv'e lost my life on the lake that night
but I'm immortal, a monster in a human hide.

In a human hide
A human hide
I said a human hide

In a human hide
A human hide
I said a human hide....
