Walking the house and circling again
The cold winter outside has forced me in
Waves of white roll over my skin
Try I might, I just can't pretend
Eyes fogging up and head gaining weight
I hear the warm sounds finally escape
I'm somewhere in the other room strumming it away
As wolves of the dark deep lie in wait
The sounds of the night bounce around in my mind
I toss and turn, looking for an out
But the voices of the day echo in my brain
And the quiet ones always drown out the loud
Trying to fall asleep and wash away the day
The moonlight sliver cuts across my face
I'm somewhere in a foreign town half a world away
As wolves of the dark deep lie in wait
The one that got away joins the last one she replaced
And cold hands clutch on to empty pens
I say that it's alright; just one more lonely night
But I can't stop defeat from sinking in
Drink into the night, until I can't see your face
Trying to forget your smell and shape
Dreaming up the melodies and waking right away
The wolves of the dark deep lie in wait
Painting the morning light a bittersweet grey
The wolves of the dark deep lie in wait
