Cryptozoologist

Every year he gets a little less convinced
But he keeps trying anyway
Because belief is like a drug he cannot quit
Sold by anecdotal evidence

Blurry photos sure
Plaster castings sure
Shaky camera work
But not a body oh no
Have I been a fool
Should I have gone to school
But I feel that pull
Back to the woods

Come what may
He'll find the truth someday
Nothing stays hidden forever
That's just what he'd say
One lifetime might not be enough

He thinks he found some prints in 1994
While camping down by Boggy Creek
Maybe he did or maybe not no one is sure
But it was one hell of a week

Jersey Devil no
Chupacabra No
And I still don't know if I think Mothman is real
But the Skunk Ape yes
And perhaps Loch Ness
So I must confess
This is my deal

Come what may
He'll find the truth someday
Nothing stays hidden forever
That's just what he'd say
One lifetime might not be enough

Yes I'm aware that these
Are unlikely scenarios
And the non pseudo scientists
Think my kind are hilarious
But they don't know the thrill
Of a howl from a thing that they cannot identify
So.i feel very sad for them

Next year
He thinks could be the year
Sightings happen all the time
He feels the day is drawing near and
The reveal will be sublime

If I don't come back
And they find my pack
in a trail of tracks
All torn apart
Don't you cry for me
I think I got to see
Through the mystery
Into the dark

Come what may
He'll find the truth someday
Nothing stays hidden forever
That's just what he'd say
One lifetime might not be enough

Cold and stoned
He walks the woods alone
Wanting to go where the wild things wander
The unknown
Maybe that's where he belongs
