A Wolf's heart broken

Lyrics

[Intro & Verse 1] The city lights are flickering, an empty, hollow hall I'm tracing ghosts of memories upon the concrete wall The rhythm of the traffic sounds just like weeping rain But it cannot wash away the quiet, gnawing pain I’m just a silhouette against the burning screen Lost inside the static of a cold machine. ​[Pre-Chorus] My heart is heavy, tethered to the ground Searching for a frequency that can’t be found. ​[Chorus 1] Moonlight bleeding, tearing at the seams I’m waking from the nightmare, I’m dying in the dreams Let the fur catch the starlight, let the claws break the chain I am shedding this skin, I am washing off the stain Take me home to the silence, take me home to the light Where the wolf finds its shadow in the endless night. ​(Verse 2) I’m tired of the noise, the sharp and jagged sound My spirit’s yearning for the sacred, holy ground I’m shedding all the armor that I’ve learned to wear Breathing in the stillness, gasping for the air. [Music drops out, only atmospheric, swelling pads building up for bass drop] God... if I'm so special... And the world needs me... Then why... Why must I suffer and bleed? (Drums crash in, high intensity) And let this wolf be free! ​[Bass drops and Guitar Solo: Slow, mournful, soaring synth-guitar] ​[Chorus 2] Moonlight bleeding, tearing at the seams I’m waking from the nightmare, I’m dying in the dreams Let the fur catch the starlight, let the claws break the chain I am shedding this skin, I am washing off the stain Take me home to the silence, take me home to the light Where the wolf finds its shadow in the endless night. ​[Bridge] For the rest of my life. Just the howl... In the dark... [VERSE 3] The city lights are flickering, an empty, hollow hall I'm tracing ghosts of memories upon the concrete wall The rhythm of the traffic sounds just like weeping rain But it cannot wash away the quiet, gnawing pain I’m just a silhouette against the burning screen Lost inside the static of a cold machine. [PRE-CHORUS 2] My heart is heavy, tethered to the ground Searching for a frequency that can’t be found. [CHORUS 3] Moonlight bleeding, tearing at the seams I’m waking from the nightmare, I’m dying in the dreams Let the fur catch the starlight, let the claws break the chain I am shedding this skin, I am washing off the stain Take me home to the silence, take me home to the light Where the wolf finds its shadow in the endless night. [HOOK] (Repeat melody of chorus, softer, fading into the night) [VERSE 4] I’m tired of the noise, the sharp and jagged sound My spirit’s yearning for the sacred, holy ground I’m shedding all the armor that I’ve learned to wear Breathing in the stillness, gasping for the air. [PRE-CHORUS] My heart is heavy, tethered to the ground Searching for a frequency that can’t be found. [CHORUS] Moonlight bleeding, tearing at the seams I’m waking from the nightmare, I’m dying in the dreams Let the fur catch the starlight, let the claws break the chain I am shedding this skin, I am washing off the stain Take me home to the silence, take me home to the light Where the wolf finds its shadow in the endless night. [BRIDGE] (Music drops out, only atmospheric wind and distant sirens) The night stretches wide, the silence cracks A lone howl echoes, a ghost in shadows I stride.Moonlight bleeding, tearing at the seams I’m waking from the nightmare, I’m dying in the dreams Let the fur catch the starlight, let the claws break the chain I am shedding this skin, I am washing off the stain Take me home to the silence, take me home to the light Where the wolf finds its shadow in the endless night. [Outro] Going home... Trading the world... For the rest of my life. Just the howl... In the dark... I am free. (Fades out to distant, echoing piano)
