Ragged Set of Claws

I am not the man I used to be I am not the boy I was Some days I have trouble getting use to me Some nights I fight a ragged set of claws They’re a ragged set of claws Brave adventures were my future Back when I dreamed myself a hero’s cape and hood But every time I leave my bat cave these days Some clever joker shows me why I should stay cave bound for good I should stay cave bound for good My hours have grown narrow: Eat, sleep, do my job My friends increase their distance It’s taken years to grow this ragged set of claws This ragged set of claws... (instrumental verse) Just starting out is always lovely It’s when we write the stories we believe But down the road we meet the monsters In the battle is when we see we’ve been deceived Yeah, the monster is me, I’ve been deceived. My hours have grown narrow: Eat, sleep, do my job My friends increase their distance It’s taken years to grow, just to grow, oh... My hours have grown narrow: I Eat, I sleep, I do my job All my friends they seem so distant It took me years just to grow this ragged set of claws This ragged set of claws... Took me years to grow This ragged set of claws... This ragged set... This ragged set of claws.
