lyrics

They called us nosferatu
They blamed us for their blood loss
Hiding from the light
Shrinking from the cross

They called us lycanthropic
They didn’t know I’d find my power there
Cast my shadow by the glow of the moon
My black eyes my black hair

The trauma that lives in my blood? you gave me
So I’m not waiting around for you to save me

They called us sharp & shrewd & twisted
They called us treacherous & small
I watched them try to build their tower
& I will be there to watch it fall

You lit your torch and cried you can’t replace me
You made me a monster and now you’re too scared to face me
