about

The Wolves is about fighting with those thoughts in our own heads that try and drag us down into making bad decisions. One of the oldest fights in history.

lyrics

I can’t seem to hold the wolves at bay
With my back to the door, there are even more hungry strays
Eventually I know they will feast on me
It’s the only way I’ve ever known how to make them leave me be
Looking through the lenses I have made
I watch disillusioned as the memories start to fade
Carrying the weight so well
That even when it shifts around, nobody can tell

All these sinister thoughts, hiding in some veiled locus of the mind
All that we can do is wait for some Focus to find
To find our way

Someone put the cat back in the bag
Pulled the draw string tight, alright, the thoughts all start to lag
Everyone and thing I’ve ever known
I thought the DNA was all etched into the bone
The age though, it’s all catching up to me
New prescription lenses just to clearly see
Now the fuzzy edges are all gone
Learning about gracefulness and the best way to move on

All these sinister thoughts, hiding in some veiled locus of the mind
All that we can do is wait for some Focus to find
To find our way

I know it’s not gonna be easy
Everything for a reason
There is a time and a place
And we all most roll through the seasons

All these sinister thoughts, hiding in some veiled locus of the mind
All that we can do is wait for some Focus to find
To find our way
