Wolves Of My Want

Here I am, I am writing it down
The answers to our questions, they are quite profound
You're standing there, telling me to come back around
When the mysteries of the universe are all sorted out
You light a cigarette, I thought that you quit
You respond with a grin "We're not really here
But you should still set the scene"

So I put us in one childhood home or another
And my sister appears and then so does our brother
We step into the night, the stars stretching the sky
It's our place in the desert and we begin to fly above

Why do you always have me meet you in here
You tell me like a secret, make me wanna keep it
Ah well yes, of course, I will find you again
You're so real to me I could reach out and snatch that apple from your hand

When you show up like this, I wanna touch you all over
But you don't give me no bite to satisfy this hunger
You think "Hey, it's my dream, no need to be obscene"
But at the very least, well it could be a little sweet

'Cause even in my dreams, you are pulling at the strings
And by you, I mean me, and you'd better believe I'm pulling them tight
Tucked into this heavenly night
It's all right, its all right
Somedays the world is a beautiful brain

And I cannot understand that I cannot penetrate
So I'll just sing it's refrain
I live inside my unrealized art
And the wolves of my wants circle the beat of my heart

Somedays I awake outside of everything
At the limits of my life and I can't find a way in
But on a morning this bright, I'm on the passenger side
I'm just choosing the music we'll have for this ride
