Wolves

(album: My Arms Are Open - 2020)

Stone cold with your hearts of gold
Asking me to come out and play
Draw me out into open plains
I'm not a hunter but I'm nobody's prey

Light on your feet you come bearing teeth
Picturing my skin down to bone
But I will fight for what's rightfully mine
I see your shadow and I draw my bow

You run in circles
I'm surrounded by the enemy
You think you've done it
But you'll never get the best of me
And all the vultures waiting for the wolves to finish me off
Well, you can have your pound of (Flesh when he's done with it)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm sick of running
(Oh-oh-oh)
The wolves are always gunning for me
My arms are open
Right here I stand
You said you want me gone
So here I am

Fighting shy with a careful eye
Puncturing my flesh down to bone
And yet I stand never playing my hand
I bide my time before I draw my bow

You run in circles
I'm surrounded by the enemy
You think you've done it
But you'll never get the best of me
And all the vultures waiting for the wolves to finish me off
Well, you can have your pound of (Flesh when he's done with it)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm sick of running
(Oh-oh-oh)
The wolves are always gunning for me
My arms are open
Right here I stand
You said you want me gone
So here I am

I'm surrounded by the enemy
But you'll never get the best of me
Waiting for the wolves to finish me off
(Flesh when he's done with it)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm sick of running
(Oh-oh-oh)
The wolves are always gunning for me
My arms are open
Right here I stand
You said you want me gone
So here I am

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm sick of running
(Oh-oh-oh)
The wolves are always gunning for me
My arms are open
Right here I stand
You said you want me gone
So here I am
