Paper Wolf

I cover my tracks and peel my layers
I gather my strength from thoughts and prayers
I empty my house to flee from chaos
I dream of a king that won't betray us
Don't delay us all

You better watch out the wolf is coming
Save your soul
You better watch out the wolf is coming
Dig a hole

My cigarette ash convertes to sparkles
My eyes are installed in walls of marbles
They told me to break my floating castles
I dream of the day your bones are fossils
Are you puzzled now?

You better watch out the wolf is coming
Save your soul
You better watch out the wolf is coming
Dig a hole
You better watch out the wolf is coming
Save your soul
Give in to the crowd and turn to nothing
Bells will toll tonight

I won't drown I can't hold down my head
So you better watch out
I will swim with phantom limbs instead
I was never in doubt

(Formed so inconsistently, extending this misery lane)
(Breathing out the ever-present tragedy born on the plane)

You better watch out the wolf is coming
Save your soul
You better watch out the wolf is coming
Dig a hole
You better watch out the wolf is coming
Save your soul
Give in to the crowd and turn to nothing
Bells will toll tonight
