The Wolfman

No, I haven't seen the movie. I've heard it's good though.
This was actually inspired by staring up at the large, orangeish full moon currently above the US East Coast. Lycanthropy is a fictional tool that's always fascinated me, and after I heard the riff in my head, the rest came naturally.
*Riff*
Every night,
near as I can tell,
I turn into a creature,
Raised in ****.
*Riff*
When I see that full moon,
Burnin' with dread,
Dreams of blood,
Run through my head.
*Riff*
(Chorus)
Oh! And it's drivin' me out of my mind,
Oh! And I'm running out of time,
Oh! Won't you help me if you can?
I am The Wolfman.
*Riff, then violin slide from C to D*
every night,
I lose my mind,
See the pain and fear,
Of eyes gone blind.
Every day,
I see what I cause,
The loss of life,
The pain, and those lost.
(Chorus)
Oh! And it's drivin' me out of my mind,
Oh! And I'm running out of time,
Oh! Won't you help me if you can?
I am The Wolfman!
(Guitar solo, accompanied by a howl)
(Violin solo)
(Guitar/violin trade-off)
What's this thing inside of me?
Can't someone please set me free?
End it now, I'm not afraid,
All I know, is for you, it's too late!
(Chorus)
Oh! And it's drivin' me out of my mind,
Oh! And I'm running out of time,
Oh! Won't you help me if you can?
I am The Wolfman!
Like I said, I like lycanthropy and play with ideas concerning it a lot, so expect this to become an episodic story-type thing similar to The Desert and Satellite. I don't feel like this song particularly is one of my strongest though, but I haven't written lyrics in a while.
