TO SPEAK OF WOLVES LYRICS

1. Darkness Often Yields The Brightest Light

You feel the rhythm pumping through your veins
Backbeat is pulsing, driving you insane
Giving in, was it your mistake?
Endless regret is keeping you awake!

It wasn't me who spread the sheets
Called it a day and made this bed
The choice is yours, my friend
I never once sold you short
From you can I expect apathy?
Never me!
From a distance I embrace (the) decent!

Watching the mountains fall into the sea (to the sea!)
Head in your hands
Stumble to bended knees
Wishing this moment could be lost in time (lost in time! rewind! rewind!)

Did you think I'd walk away?
bow down so gracefully.
Did you think I'd walk away? (walk away)
bow down so gracefully.

say what you want,
say what you need?
I feel you pulling at the thread-
I feel you pulling at the thread
until the separation of fabric from seam

Watching the mountains fall into the sea (to the sea!)
Head in your hands
Stumble to bended knees
Wishing this moment could be lost in time (lost in time! rewind! rewind!)

Watching the mountains fall into the sea (to the sea!)
Head in your hands
Stumble to bended knees
Wishing this moment could be lost in time
Slipping away, trying to press rewind

And what's just ripping into your thoughts until it breaks you,
feelings sustained that throughout life right where it keeps you.
Remarks are ripping in your thoughts until it breaks you,
throwing away what you create, what has made you.

You feel the rhythm pumping through your veins
Backbeat is pulsing, driving you insane
Giving in, was it your mistake?
Endless regret is keeping you awake!

2. You Should've Locked Your Doors Days Ago

Only He knows we eat and drink
As if tomorrow is a breath away
Voice of this generation
Speaks with great force
We scream for the hour to (arrive)
We will never know when You will show
The moment of defeat
Like we never knew when You would choose to gather all your sheep
Only he knows we beg to be divided
When two become one
One left in the field, one left at the mill
We devour this opportunity
To give penance
To spread the light of truth
As we fall asleep, the Shepherd divides his sheep
The thief will arrive
Your key in his pocket
He robs you blind

3. Trust But Verify

Malignant and causing turmoil
Attacking from within
I feel the spit and venom
Burning beneath my skin
Childlike and full of weary
Terror is sinking in
I search for a voice of reason
Guidance to tuck me in
You want it all
You want the world in your hands
Well here it is
Cocked, locked, and loaded
Shopped, stocked, my cabinets full
Go on and break my doors down
Go on and break me
I can see you through my window
Terror breathes in here
Footsteps fall in constant form again
Don't tread on me
Fist to the opposition
Don't tread on me
Salvation of tradition
Don't tread on me
You want it all
To carry the weight of the world
You want it all
A ticket please, for a Sunday paper
A ticket please, for a loaf of bread
Big brother, are you my window?
Big brother, are you in my head?
Hey brother, are you watching?
Hey brother, are you watching me?
Don't tread on me

4. Dimming The Light

Come in a little close dear, listen to this tale
About your brother next to you
Why it is he failed
I got a secret, I can't keep it inside
So there's this secret
I'm glad it isn't mine
It's killing me to keep it in
This burden isn't fair
Listen to this story, mask it with a prayer
Brother why is it you find?
Is it your quest to tell?
The troubles that haunt our closest kin
Is time ours to sell?
We tear apart the inside
Working towards dividing our intentions
Locking all our doors
Whisper in my ear
Voice your silence
Who are we to judge?
I see a painted portrait in the hallway
All alone
The light brightens its texture
I see the artist's every stroke
I close the curtains to dim the light, so the beauty fades away

5. White Dress, Red Letter

6. Just One Last Time

7. In The Midst Of The City

8. Quercus Alba

[Featuring Spencer Chamberlain]

Surrounded by seclusion, solitude it stands alone
Its strength is overwhelming, And its roots have fully grown
Beneath the surface a tunnel and its begging me to dig
To find a point of resolution or a hallway to escape
Hallway to escape

My breath is taken by the thought of letting go
My heart is racing as the pace begins to grow
I have a vision of a sparrow in a tree
Its begging me to dig

The earth is hard and there are stones beneath my feet
I dig for hours as my hands begin to bleed
My only partner is a light that starts to fade
Stay until I'm saved
I'm saved

I break the surface and see the sun
I find a path ahead, I begin to run
My legs are breaking, my lungs don't breathe
My voice sings with a melody I do not need

Don't live among the broken in a village of this world
Why did you build this tunnel, why did you have to run?
You run, you run, you run

The earth is hard and there are stones beneath my feet
I dig for hours as my hands begin to bleed
My only partner is a light that starts to fade
Stay until I'm saved
I'm saved

9. Your Cage May Not Have Bars But It's Still A Cage

10. Nothing Ever Ends
