The Wolves

They say the coast is clear
They say you can rest my dear
But all my scars and stitches haven't healed
From the last time they said I could yield
Prove me wrong
It's just shapes in the wind
But if I'm wrong
Why do they burn me over and over again?

I'll stop
When the wolves stop running
I'll breathe
When the smoke stops choking my lungs
When the floor stops sinking
The wolves start retreating
I'll stop
When the blows aren't crushing
I'll breathe
When the smoke stops hunting me down
When I reach a clearing
The wolves are no where to be found

I cling to the words you say
I know you believe that you're here to stay
Oh and in your arms it all feels so sure
But it's felt like this before
Prove me wrong
It's just shapes in the wind
I want to be wrong
But I've been burned over and over again

I'll stop
When the wolves stop running
I'll breathe
When the smoke stops choking my lungs
When the floor stops sinking
The wolves start retreating
I'll stop
When the blows aren't crushing
I'll breathe
When the smoke stops hunting me down
When I reach a clearing
The wolves are no where to be found

And what does it say about me
Only constant in my life is my fears coming true

I'll stop
When the wolves stop running
I'll breathe
When the smoke stops hunting me down
When I reach a clearing
The wolves are no where to be found
