This is a song I wrote based on the fantastic series Being Human (primarily Season 1 as I never saw all of 2)
For those who don't know, it's about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost all trying to live a normal life.
Lyrics:
You can run but you can't hide,
From that part of you inside.
I know you fear it,
Can you hear it,
Tearing you up inside?
I know you want to escape,
Don't you just want to escape
From this cruel and evil world?
You try so hard to reshape,
All that you give life retakes,
And the darkness will unfurl.
You can swim with humanity,
Dip your toes in normality,
But your immortality,
Won't get you far.
So let the shadows consume you,
By the light of the moon, you'll
discover who you are.
No use trying to be Human,
Trying to be Human.
The beast that's trapped deep in you
Will fight, will break free from you
How long can you pretend?
Rather you than me, friend
You're Being Human.
Your skin is icy cold to touch,
And yet I miss your touch so much.
If I could see you,
I really need you,
It's tearing me up inside.
I know I can't, but I must,
Give into my blood lust,
I can taste it on your breath.
If there was some-one to trust,
Before my friends turn to dust,
Is there no peace left in death?
You can act like humanity,
Play your part in normality,
But your immortality,
Won't get you far.
So let the shadows consume you,
By the light of the moon, you'll
discover who you are.
No use trying to be Human,
Trying to be Human.
The beast that's trapped deep in you
Will fight, will break free from you
How long can you pretend?
Rather you than me, friend.
You're Being Human.
Just when you think you can cope,
that tiny glimmer of hope,
Is extinguished before your eyes.
And all of those you have loved,
Find themselves pushed and shoved,
By the whirlwind, that surrounds you, of lies.
