I spent a little time home alone with a habit
I let some shit go to see if I good grab it
I went deep inside to where the animal hides
And brought him on out and let him into my life
At first he seemed cool, and the hang went deep
We’d howl at the moon when the world was asleep
I was holding all my cake and eating it too
But as is the way with things, they came unglued
The next thing we did was fuck up the place
Dirty all the dishes and scare my friends away
Wasn’t too long till he was copping my cash
Feeding only him and leaving me last
Pretty soon I had to admit I lost control
He was eating real good and starting to grow
I tried to say no but he always seemed to win
I tried to put him back but he wouldn’t go in
I couldn’t run away cus we met that way
The places I would hide are where he finds his prey
Couldn’t rest in a shadow, or hop on a train
Gotta fight em clean, no more running away
I couldn’t make myself kill him cus it felt like love
And the safety of my grammas house when I was a cub
But the person in the mirror was starting to change
He’s got a taste of blood, and I was starting to fade
Chorus
Make it till the morning and then you’ll be alright
Its stronger in the darkness than it is in the light
As long as we are living, there’ll always be a fight
That fights tonight
