No Wolf Like The Present
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hey!
In a safe house he baits
Can you blame the conniving
Bludgeoned by the prowler cars
He's been running since the day
That they tagged his skin
A walking cypher kicking calendars
He hears the sirens
He hears his song play everyday
From Potemkin mills
Where the winds erase
They use our past to evict us
In a land that stole
A kestrel from the knave
Smothered inmates full at capacity
He hears the sirens
He hears his song play everyday
It's open season check the body cam
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the presence
Of insignificance
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the presence
Of insignificance tantivy run
He's been on the lam so long
He knows the rules of the hunt
Carving X's into bullets for luck
While the veneer of civilization grinds
Light bulbs into his food supply
He hears the sirens
He hears his song play everyday
It's open season check the body cam
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the presence
Of insignificance
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the presence
Of insignificance tantivy run
Tantivy run!
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the presence
Of insignificance
There's no wolf like the present
They own your history and scrap it for parts
There's no wolf like the presence
Of insignificance
There's no wolf like the present
There's no wolf like the scrap
There's no wolf like the present
Of insignificance tantivy run
