This is a one-take recording, voice and ukulele only. I'm a lyricist at heart, playing music is just a hobby. You won't catch me taking it too seriously.

lyrics

There used to
A shadow hanging about me
Bigger than the moon and the stars I'd see
Counting off my aches and scrapes before I went to sleep
This fantasy
Creature of the night had fearsome teeth
To tear into the dark of the life I'd seen
You leave

It was hollow
It was hungry
It made me feel so alive
It made a monster of me

When they asked me why
I told them you'd said not to cry
It wasn't fitting for a boy my size
And so I grew as tall as the sky
When they threatened me
I wasn't scared but then they ran away
And loneliness sank in and the anger
I started to push it away

It left me hollow
It left me hungry
You made me feel so alone
You made a monster of me

And so I carved out
All the rot you'd left
All the things you'd meant
And so I found out
That with enough holes
You can let sunshine
Right into your
Soul

I used to be a kid
Until I wasn't
Once a wolf
I beat myself out of it
Now I'm a polite little ghost
My body your tombstone
And I'll hide the pain
And I'll hide the rage
And I'll haunt with a smile
On my face

It'll be hollow
It'll be hungry
But who cares if I don't feel alive
Who cares about me ?
