Blood In The Snow

Sniffing out desire with a wolf's nose
Heightened appetite
There's blood in the snow
Turn off your biology
Keep clean your soul
Wear wool in the winter
Hide in sheeps clothes
If appetite compels me
Like a wolf with a grin
Am I merely a product
Of my aptitude for sin
I let the bad parts in
I let the bad parts in
File off the serial
And scramble the vin
With a serpent's tongue
I wipe the blood off my chin
And then I pick up a pen
And go to do it again
There's freedom from addictions
If you let the light in'
There's freedom from addictions
If you know where to begin
I lift myself out of my body
Watch myself give in
And then i analyze the habit
And see it for what it is
Insecurity mixed
With some self centeredness
And a gross miscalculation of risk
I know exactly who I am
In this exact moment
Not the past
Not the future
To nothing i'm beholden
Freedom from addiction if you let the light in
There's freedom from addiction
If you know where to begin

Blood in the snow

The blood in the snow
Looks like a Pollock painting
A splash of red across the canvas
Of the seasons changing
A semi random mess
That sometimes makes perfect sense
A celestial explosion that erupted from the chest
Big bang heart
A trillion cherry bombs
Glisten like the water in the brook behind my mom's
Blue jays in the trees
Madly singing love songs
To remind us what we got before it's gone
A sobering moment on Cabernet Sauvignon
Everything shines when I'm drunk
It all hurts when i yawn
I watch time fade
In the crease of my palm
Don't know what we got until it's gone
Wolfmother
Wolfmother
Wolfmother
Wolfmother
Blood in the snow
Track it down like the hunter
That you raised me to be
That i aim to exceed
There's blood in the snow
And there's rain on the leaves
