The Wolf in My Skin—by Alexander Cain

They tell me it’s all in my head
Like I should be relieved.
They never believe
But I know
There’s something wrong with me,
The Wolf in my Skin
Inviting all the demons in
Chains at the door
Snakes in my veins
You keep trying to say
We’re all just the same
But I have a black hole
Deep inside
It swallows the truth
And spits out these lies
The Wolf in my Skin
Inviting all the demons in
Chains at the door
Snakes in my veins
You keep trying to say
We’re all just the same
But who do I believe
With all these voices on the breeze
The sweet lies they breathe
Singing their sweet melodies
The Wolf in my Skin
Inviting all the demons in
Chains at the door
Snakes in my blood
You keep trying to say
We’re all just the same
Sometimes I get lost
In these silly fantasies
Dreams of tomorrow
Better days ahead
Long broken promises
Keeping me awake.
