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 used to me
Some nights I fight
A ragged set of claws...
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)

Just starting out
Is always lovely...
It's when we write the stories
We believe.
Down the road
We meet the monsters
In the battle's when we see
We've been deceived:
The monster's me...

My hours have grown narrow
Eat, sleep, do my job
My friends increase their distance
It's taken years to grow
My hours have grown narrow
I eat, I sleep, I do my job
All my friends seem so distant
It took me years to grow
This ragged set of claws...
This ragged set of claws...
This ragged set of claws...
