Do you remember, years ago
When we were footprints in the snow
When it was love, just boy meets girl
When it was us against the world
(But then, at night, the monster comes,
He bares his teeth and speaks in tongues)
You wake to find me black and blue
You wake to tell me, 'I love you'

It's the full moon in a bottle
It turns you inside out
Turns my laughter into screams
Turns your whispers into shouts
It's the full moon in a bottle-
You start to sweat and shake
Hold my heart in bloodied hands
(See how easily it breaks)
A comparison of my relationship with a sweet alcoholic boy who'd turn into a monster when he drank, to the 'werewolf' idea.
