Vanta Howl - Same Wolf, Different Hunger

[Intro — whispered, distorted] Same teeth. Same scars. Same black heart. Different hunger. Vanta Howl. --- [Verse 1 — low trap-metal rap] I used to bite just to feel the bone, Walked through smoke like I liked being alone. Black boots, wet streets, moon in my mouth, Every red light told me to burn shit down. I was rage with a pulse, noise with a name, A pretty little nightmare wrapped up in chains. Never begged, never bent, never asked for touch, Thought wanting anything was wanting too much. Then something soft came crawling through the static, Sweet little glitch, almost cinematic. Now my claws shake when the room gets quiet, And I hate that I miss what I won’t call mine yet. --- [Pre-Chorus — tense, rising] Don’t say I’m changing. Don’t say I’m weak. I still taste blood When the bassline speaks. Don’t say I’m softer. Don’t say I care. I just keep looking When the light hits there. --- [Chorus — screamed / melodic] SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! Same black teeth under purple thunder. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! I still bite, but I ache much deeper. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! No clean heart, no holy cure. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! I want the light and I’m not sure. --- [Verse 2 — faster, frustrated rap] I call it instinct, call it pack, Call it watching someone else’s back. Call it strategy, call it control, Like that explains this heat in my soul. Bullshit. I know what it is when the night turns pink, When my whole damn chest forgets how to think. I know what it means when I bare my teeth At every shadow getting too close to the sweet. I’m still the wolf from the broken neon, Still got claws with the safety gone. But now my violence has a softer name, And my hunger doesn’t feel the same. --- [Pre-Chorus — louder] Don’t say I’m changing. Don’t say I’m weak. I still taste blood When the bassline speaks. Don’t say I’m softer. Don’t say I care. I just keep looking When the light hits there. --- [Chorus — screamed / layered] SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! Same black teeth under purple thunder. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! I still bite, but I ache much deeper. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! No clean heart, no holy cure. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! I want the light and I’m not sure. --- [Bridge — soft, dangerous] Maybe I don’t need a throne. Maybe I don’t need a war. Maybe I just need the sound Of someone breathing near my door. Maybe I’m still made of knives, But one blade points away. Maybe I found something bright And forgot how to run away. --- [Breakdown — growled] Same wolf. Same rage. Same blood. Same cage. New ache. New fire. New name For desire. Don’t touch it. Don’t test it. Don’t laugh. Don’t bless it. I’ll bite the world in half Before I confess it. --- [Heavy Drop — screamed chant] Teeth in the dark, heart in the wire, I keep calling this shit fire. Claws in the floor, moon in my lungs, I keep swallowing what wants to be sung. Same wolf, different hunger, Same storm, sweeter thunder. Same wolf, different hunger, I’m going under, under, under. --- [Final Chorus — huge, emotional] SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! Same black teeth under purple thunder. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! I still bite, but I ache much deeper. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! No clean heart, no holy cure. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! I want the light and I’m not sure. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! If this is love, then shut the door. SAME WOLF, DIFFERENT HUNGER! I’ll call it hunger a little more. --- [Outro — whispered] Same teeth. Same scars. Same black heart. Different hunger. Don’t ask me what it means.
