When you look into my eyes

Can you tell me what you see

Am I a man trying

Ruminating on personal identity, posing the internal struggle of being perceived as either a striving human or a destructive force.

Or a monster to feed?

Expressing uncertainty about one's nature, questioning whether the speaker is a man on a journey or a destructive entity needing sustenance.

We are the watchers with far flung eyes

Identifying a collective presence ("we") characterized by vigilant observation and a sense of apprehension about the future.

We're terrified of what's to come

We are becoming more as the moonlight transforms benign

Closer to the danger I'm running away

When the stars betray the sunset

Before the skies begin to bleed

Your color pales the comparison

Oh

We are the monsters with tragic lives we seek to survive
