The Wolf

Said, "In truth I don't really want to talk about it" Christmas lights dangled sadly from the table in the operating room Last I heard you're an addict about it Full of rage and Corona Trying to blow the birthday kid candles out Trap doors and the retaliator lead out To the field where our extended families buried their lies If you're going, bring some faith and a flashlight Follow signs that read "It's twenty miles before you finally see fire" Now there's something to say for the art of confusion I got the courage to inquire where your body traveled all of the time I gotta climb out of this elevator, hadn't move me once yet Do I expect that it should really start now? The waitress oversees you levitating Couldn't think it to words and watched your body lift up into the sky Everyone there was just in awe about it Seen a miracle and drank away the thought from our minds There was you and me And nothing in between It's right and wrong Goes on and on and on This is the wave that you could never conquer Losing the smallest piece of truth we used to know I wasn't prepared to embark with the wolf of the mountain It wasn't a place that we could call our own Now I don't want to seem like it's split at the seams See the pain on the wall? See the blood in the street? There is nothing you've got when you die that you keep You were all that you were, were you all you could be? In the blink of an eye there's a hole in your belly Your body recoils ironically into the family planning aisle Overhear, "I don't know where I'm going I'm going anyway Don't let 'em tell you that I never found" You and me and nothing in between It's right and wrong, goes on and on and on (how long you been looking for) The truth for me is grasping at the steam So truthfully, do you want to die for me? This is the wave that you could never conquer Losing the smallest piece of truth we used to know I wasn't prepared to embark with the wolf of the mountain It wasn't a place that we could call our own --- The Wolf - Manchester Orchestra
