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 family 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

(Maybe you’re paying too much for your life insurance policy)

Now there's something to say for the art of confusion

I got the courage to enquire 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

I 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 seam

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
