Crying Wolf

I could beg for mercy
Try and change my name
I'd be fooling myself
Nobody gives a damn

Well our hearts run dry
And the story's never full
But the creek runs high
And you been crying wolf

We been crawling
Like a slow death
Way too long
Like an old dress
You're draped in red
And I'm a dying bull

Well it looks to me
Like you just seen a ghost
But I've seen enough to know
That there's no hope

It's just you and me
And the ashes on our hands
From a burned up dream
Of a promise of a promised land

We been crawling
Like a slow death
Way too long
Like an old dress
You're draped in red
And I'm a dying bull
In the howling
And the low breath
Held too long
In a sweet duet
I'm crying out
And you been crying wolf

Whiskey and wine and the shoulder of time
They been known to dull the pain
The devil you know the devil you don't
Ain't supposed to share a name

We been crawling
Like a slow death
Way too long
Like an old dress
You're draped in red
And I'm a dying bull
In the howling
And the low breath
Held too long
In a sweet duet
I'm crying out
And you been crying wolf
I'm crying out
And you been crying wolf
I'm crying out
And you been crying wolf
