There's something a'shifting
With tooth and claw bared
Something a'hungering
Where no one has stared
A monster's a'climbing
from out of your throat
Digging deep into
you, keeping afloat
There's something a'wishing
A'wanting like mad
Alive in all living
things, risk to be had
A creature a'waiting
it's eager escape
The beast lies a'muttering
as the mouth gives it shape

There's something a'wishing
A'wanting like mad
Alive in all living
things, risk to be had
A creature a'waiting
it's eager escape
The beast lies a'muttering
as the mouth gives it shape
truth isn't always kind
