The Hounds

You left me on the outs
Standing all alone
That's what I needed now
But then I did not know
The older that we grow
You see there's many roads
May it break you down
To show lights still on the ground

We tend to oversee
The fact that we are free
Counting all our wrongs
But they ain't etched in stone
We're all blood and bones
So baby change your tone
You can take your crown
I don't like what it surrounds

Are you waiting, are you waiting
For the sun to go down
Are you ready, are you ready
I'm releasing the hounds
You'll be running, you'll be running
Ain't no use in your shouts
I ain't bluffing from your strutting
This wolf can't be slouched

You can plague my name and heart
With them chained profane remarks
Cause my spirit can't be broke
From rising tides of smoke
It's just a frame of mind
With love abound in twine
That led me to the warm
With a past I could confirm

Are you waiting, are you waiting
For the sun to go down
Are you ready, are you ready
I'm releasing the hounds
You'll be running, you'll be running
Ain't no use in your shouts
I ain't bluffing from your strutting
This wolf can't be slouched

Jealous you, yeah yeah yeah
Jealous you, yeah yeah yeah
Jealous you, yeah yeah yeah

Are you waiting, are you waiting
For the sun to go down
Are you ready, are you ready
I'm releasing the hounds
You'll be running, you'll be running
Ain't no use in your shouts
I ain't bluffing from your strutting
This wolf can't be slouched
