Let The Wolves Answer

Made with Suno Ai [Verse 1] I keep a list beneath the mattress Every reason I should run Paper cuts across the answers None of them say where from You ask me why I leave the porch light Burning through the morning frost I say the dark has got a language I’m still learning what it costs [Pre-Chorus] Then somewhere past the county line A low voice rises through the pines [Chorus] Let the wolves answer my bad thoughts Let them carry what I can’t If my head becomes a locked room They’ll keep circling where I stand I don’t need a clean confession I don’t need a perfect cause Let the wolves answer my bad thoughts Till the worst of me lets go [Verse 2] There’s a cracked blue mug beside me Cold coffee, Sunday news I have worn the same excuse out Trying not to think of you Every doubt arrives in work boots Tracks its mud across the floor But the hills don’t ask for reasons They just open up a door [Pre-Chorus] And somewhere past the county line That rough choir pulls me back in time [Chorus] Let the wolves answer my bad thoughts Let them carry what I can’t If my head becomes a locked room They’ll keep circling where I stand I don’t need a clean confession I don’t need a perfect cause Let the wolves answer my bad thoughts Till the worst of me lets go [Bridge] I was not born to be the warning Pinned beneath somebody’s thumb I can hear the branches breaking I can feel the morning come No, they don’t promise I’m forgiven No, they don’t pretend I’m healed They just howl into the distance Like the wound is something real [Final Chorus] Let the wolves answer my bad thoughts Let them tear apart the script When the room begins to tighten I’ll remember I can slip I don’t need a clean confession I don’t need a perfect cause Let the wolves answer my bad thoughts Till the worst of me lets go [Outro] Past the fence and past the pines Their voices fade, but they are mine Past the fence and past the pines I leave the porch light off tonight
