Alpha Howl

(album: Phototroph - 2022)

I don't hate, I don't hate, I don't hate this place
I just hate that I'm here
I don't hate, I don't hate, I don't hate these folks
But they don't keep what I hold dear

And I've been giving them more ground every day
They're starting to root beneath my house
And I can't let, let them in

But I've been turning the soil out in the rain
I curse the sun to bring clouds
And I can't get rest

It keeps me up, keeps me up
Keeps me up, keeps me up

Liberate, liberate, liberate this heart
From inside the omega's house
Burn it down, burn it down, burn the false wolves out
Can you hear the Alpha Howl?

'Cause I've been giving the foreground to this hate
It's starting to blind me to my crown
But I can't let, let the venom in

'Cause I've been summoned to toil, ignite and rage
It's all in the grin beneath my growl
Can you hear it writhing in the sound?

It keeps me up, keeps me up
Keeps me up, keeps me up

Impervious to sirens
No meandering
Arrow finds its target
Once I let the howl in
The burn's been unforgiving
And it won't let me rest

It keeps me up
This beast in my blood, beast in my blood
Beast in my blood, beast in my blood
Beast in my blood, beast in my blood
Beast in my blood, beast in my blood
