the wolf from winter ep by fest.

every night it's like the same fight
to sit in tentative guilt or to thrive
embracing lycanthropic impulse
born in the shadow of a steely spine
pushed to a new empathic wayside
torn apart by their watchful eyes
simmering pot of unease
watch the lines on my face
as they stretch into desperate disguise

uniform and smile
like a new form of art
as the minutes pass by
it sheds into fresh skin

now the moonlight's shining bright
a new prey tonight
whatever fight that remained as i'm publicly shamed
is ripped apart along with their insides
now as my teeth start falling out
and they're replaced with sharpened death
pushing the guilt aside
a drink and raw regrets again, oh no

well at least i tried again
still the beast reared back its head
"well at least i tried"
repeat
compulse
again

fighting the urge to bite
fighting the urge to bite
fighting the urge to bite
fighting the urge to bite
