Wolf by the Tail

A wild heart and tattooed skin
She's not around even when she is
On the verge of leaving her when she cries to me, she cries to me

Burdened by the tears that flow like wine for the sorrowful
Beauty dulls the sense that knows
On the verge of letting go but she's tied to me, tied to me

And there's all this blood on my hands
And there's no ground where I stand
I'm damned if I stick around damned if I bail
Loving her is like holding a wolf by the tail

Turn around and face your ghosts the one that follows you the most
Starving for the arms that hold is famine like you've never known
The hunger in my bones despises me, despises me

And there's all this blood on my hands
And there's no ground where I stand
I'm damned if I stick around damned if I bail
Loving her is like holding a wolf by the tail

I can't let her go
I can't let her go
No no no
I can't let her go
I can't hold her no more

And there's all this blood on my hands
And there's no ground where I stand
I'm damned if I stick around damned if I bail
'Cause Loving her is like, loving her is like
All this blood on my hands
All this blood on my hands
Damned if I stick around damned if I bail
'Cause Loving her is like holding a wolf by the tail
Holding a wolf by the tail
