lyrics

The flame, the flame under my bed has turned to stone
As if I ever had a place to go
The door outside has crowned itself in snow
No way to hope, no one to hold

I watch the lamb step first into the fog
Its vapid twists and turns the pooling blood
And still I drink and drink I want the flood
Nothing seems to me to be too much

I call it Wolf to dull its fangs
That's the way I was supposed to be raised
I call it wolf to dull its fangs
To remind myself of pain
I call it wolf to dull its fangs

Loud, the clamor in the head calls the bluff
But still I prefer it to the hush
The silence that crumbles me to dust
Grinds me down until I'm crushed

And which parts of me are meant to love
the bones, the spittle, or the crud
Seek revelation through the hairs of a dove
Itching through the surface to the mud

I call it Wolf to dull its fangs
That's the way I was supposed to be raised
I call it wolf to dull its fangs
To remind myself of pain
I call it wolf to dull its fangs

Coldness has so many names
Darkness, prophets, nothing gained
Countless miles in the rain
Bike rides, spirits, whose to blame
The black hole calls to me again
Corrupts in me the souls of men
I've turned to the void so many times
It comes to me in words and rhymes
Still my legs they turn to stone
An elephant that lays me down
Keeps me trapped against the earth
Moving through the crackled dirt
The roots that have to me expunged
Corrupt the branches, trunk, and same
And still I stand above it all
At the top just bound to fall
Insane
