King Wolf,
You dug your own grave.
Give it up.
You, I can’t save.
King wolf,
howl through the night.
Save your skin.
Set this wrong right.
Tail between your legs
with every step you take you fake.
Heart stuck up inside your throat
I smile, I know it’s all a joke.
Ghost Bird,
your chains are your own.
Cast them off
steal away home.
Ghost bird
smoke blinds us both.
Cry for your kin
make way for new growth.

Tooth & Claw

Loose lips/sink ships
just you have a care.
Pipe dreams/bold schemes
a trap you've set to snare.
Dope freaks/dead creeps,
this our cross to bear.
Tight hips/cold lips,
I don't mean to stare.
Hey what's more, there's monsters at your door
with a rage, that's harder to ignore.
Tooth and claw, or teeth and nail
from a mouse, or as big as a whale.
First rate/inmate,
jailed by your despair.
Tall drink/can't think,
a life you can't repair.
Hard knocks/cash talks,
you say the game's unfair.
Dead beat/fresh meat,
boy, you best beware.

Bury Me

All that I’m building,
the road that I’m walking
leads me back to you.
Oh you’re still breathing
you know that I’m fading;
please bring me back to you.
oh we were earth before we were stars
and fell back in a blaze of light.
lost in our mirth before we had scars,
and were seized by the grip of night.
Oh oh bury me now
oh oh deep in the ground
oh oh I found your crown
so, I carried it round.
Days of deep raining,
a mountainside draining;
I don’t know what to do.
Found your head bleeding,
your heart stopped its beating
oh, what did we do?
Your arms they were leaves pushed straight to the sun
till they broke with the weight of lies.
Your eyes they were sieves showing all we had done
but they closed and yes you died.
Oh, oh bury me now
oh oh deep in the ground
oh oh I found your crown
so so, I carried it round.
so I, carried you down (x4)

Shoot that beautiful bird.
I walk the streets at night,
with novocain, to dull the pain.
A broken man, a house of cards,
drunk in bars.
So I, grab my six, you turn some tricks,
I find the quickest fix.
Taking aim, get shot again,
so I know.....
Shoot that beautiful bird,
for I'm a coward, and a liar.
Find me lost in this world,
tie me up, and get me higher.
Shoot that beautiful bird,
for I'm a coward, and a liar.
Find me lost in this world,
I'm not a lover, I'm a fighter.
I take my time, I know I'm dying,
won't stay alive, just by lying.
I can't see straight, you cannot wait,
oh yeah, I know the stakes.
So I, ride again to save that man,
a pale ghost, oh we'll both be damned.
Taking aim, get shot again,
so I know.
I can not wait for that kiss.
I taste the blood on your lips.
I caught that sway in your hips.
I can not wait for that kiss.
Shoot that beautiful bird,
for I'm a coward, and a liar.
Find me lost in this world,
tie me up, and get me higher.
Shoot that beautiful bird,
for I'm a coward, and a liar.
Find me lost in this world,
I'm not a lover, I'm a fighter.
