Lions all around me
Truth can be lies and the devil don't want you free
Can anybody be
My mind wanders around
Though I'm caged oh let me out
Unmarked are the tombstones but the family still cares
There were so many words I should've never kept
And oh, you got stuck in a spider's web
But I'll cut you free
And I'll cut you free
And oh, as we stare at your wounds
We're howling
We're howling, we're howling for you
We're howling for you
I saw what you saw but there was something else
You know your love has bound your feet
And you're casting shadows to deceive me
I never knew how it could be
I took a lot, I took once more
I want to do something to show you to me
Cause you know that no one really knows me
And oh, you got stuck in a spider's web
But I'll cut you free
And I'll cut you free
And oh, as I stare at your wounds
We're howling
We're howling, we're howling for you
We're howling for you
Unmarked are the tombstones but the family still cares
There were so many words I should've never kept
I'll cut you free, I'll cut you free
I'll cut you free, I'll cut you free
And oh, you got stuck in a spider's web
But I'll cut you free
I'll cut you free
And oh, I stare at your wounds
We're howling
We're howling, we're howling for you
We're howling for you
Unmarked are the tombstones but the family still cares
There were so many words I should've never kept
