lyrics

I'm so tired I can't sleep straight
I go in circles when I try
I get all lost and crossed
And dizzy in my mind

And my heart's not broken but it's bruised
I'm confused at how it's being used
I keep choosing all the same mistakes
Until I've taken all that I can take

And I lost my hood somewhere in the woods
I stained the sheets all red
I bled the rivers dry
The wolf and I

We're all heavy teeth and swollen tongues
Battered hearts and bellowed lungs
And we see red and we go numb
Oh my god, look what we've become

And all this pain keeps showing sharpened teeth
It howls cause it can't bear to speak
I can't keep getting this weak on a weekday night
Not when it's just the wolf and I

You know it hunts me out of house and home
I hide from help, I'm all alone
I don't know half of what I think I've known
I keep growing, when will I be grown

I'm gonna let this hurt and hope consume me
I don't know how to be some new me
This anxiety inside of me is trying to eat me up alive

Hate that I'm this burden soaked in bourbon
I'm uncertain half the time
I'm alright, until I'm aching and I'm breaking
And it's taking up the hours

I wanna fill my restless days with wildflowers
I wanna eat up the world and pull down the moon
I want everything to come too soon

I keep turning empty pages
Spilled my soul on darkened stages
I keep burning through the ages
Nothing changes

I keep turning empty pages
Spilled my soul on darkened stages
I keep burning through the ages
Nothing changes

I keep turning empty pages
Spilled my soul on darkened stages
I keep burning through the ages
Nothing changes

The wolf and I
The wolf and I
The wolf and I
