Wolves in the woods
Is this place any good ?
Wolves at the door
Shotguns for the world
Wolves through the wood
Holdin fast, no one left to call for aid,
Wolves make sure all debts are payed

Hearts beat red hot in the summer
Kicking dust on attraction
The right side of what's wrong,  is the right side of a gun
Smoke em if you got em, and shoot towards the sky, they can take them from me when I die
Disease takes you quick, like a setting winter sun, I only knew you when we were young, but we shared some fun, you didn't deserve your fate
Now there's thunder in my head as I try to sleep In a foreign bed
I'm glad I left while I still had time, New Jersey was an abandoned mine, waiting to cave in my shoulders beneath a ton of boulders
Now Each day I grow wiser not older as the nights get short and colder
The sun rolls me over,  ill explore you like a planetary rover, your the first sight to fill my eyes since I've arrived

The all knowing owl swoops out in the night, hunting the same prey as the wolf, one look in each others eye and they soon realize the truth, they are the same as can be except one born with wings to fly away and over see everything, the other with teeth that are hungry for love, I think that you saw me from high up above, we fit perfect , like a hand in a glove
But even the all knowing owl is hesitant, and like a spark to a flint, you lit the wolfs hunger on fire as you craned your neck to take a second look, you cut me off, I was frightened and I shook, as you stole my gaze like a crook , I realized what you were, I spoke with haste, I took one look and saw there was no time to waste, this is not the place for you, but if you come with me, ill howl to you, and show you a place as beautiful as your eyes are blue
You said to me you'd hoot in harmony only once you were ready
You spoke again, I'm glad I am now your friend, but there is something I must know, my wings are chained to the frame that is a tricky situation
Chloe is the owl in case you were wondering

I won't wake you up anymore,
Keep my feet from gracing your bedroom floor,
So lock your door just In case, the loneliness of this place grows to get the best of me
You stand eye to eye with me
such symerty should not be ignored
I speak only facts not fiction
We can't deny the attraction of the situation
Maybe I came on the wrong day,
But I hope you still have more to say, I'm not the kinda guy that gives up so easily, for you were the kindest face I've seen in this far away and lonely place, or any place for that matter
And with precision, you contemplate a descision, as I wonder if your angles will add up to anything more then a vision, from a bad dream yeah you know the kind, it never makes you fail to wake up and scream, unable to tell if my dream of my hands upon your skin actually happened or not last night

You know that I like you a lot,
But this is just the thickening of the plot,
You love elephants, just like you they never forget, wise beyond your young years, golden hair pushed behind delicate ears
You can walk as slow as a Turtle, but in your face lies a sprinters hurdle,
And there were freckles asking to play connect the dots upon your  shell, With one look upon your precious face i could clearly see that you had just walked through hell, and your feet were tired and had begun to swell, but you still greatly longed for your home in the sea
I asked if you wanted to stay , and have a conversation with me, you said you weren't quite sure, for calling your name was the ocean floor, but You wanted to look upon my face for a little while more

I came, nearly unknown, shining as bright as the sun, one look upon you in the morning light and I was scared of the things to come.
I wasn't quite running from the things I had done, just looking for a better face to pull some words from my heartstrings, that I'm scared to let you strum,for  the strings are old, and a tune I just can't hold
Down the hall, down the hall

Last night I watched you retreat inside your shell as your drew a new dimension to yourself, I fear soon I will be just another old memory upon dusty shelf, down the hall, down the hall

Words have been escaping me as you hide inside your walls, a place where you sing all your favorite songs and I'm the only the one who attempts to interpret the feelings behind the high notes you hit, down the hall, down the hall

Now I never see you in my favorite light anymore, exposing your fears, telling me about your last 2 years and how you realized it wasn't what you wanted, down the hall, down the hall

Just like you, I'm afraid to give myself up, far from home, i still sleep alone, but someone called me here, and I came because I knew something Inspirational  was awaiting my arrival, down the hall, down the hall

We are Creatures of the night, I dream of you taking flight, And my hand upon your thigh, I promise I am a man who will not lie, but based on the shine in your eye, I can tell you hope I'm nothing like that last guy, down the hall, down the hall, down the hall, down the hall, I do promise that when and if your ready, I will catch you if you are to fall,

Cursed by my words and thoughts of your curves, the back roads of an island,  the thoughts I think, sometimes drive me to drink, a few too many, you said I live my life off a lucky penny, how quickly someone can spend me
But when the winds of my voice come blowing through your ears will you build up your walls up tall to protect yourself ? Or will you build a windmill and power your house with words in the wind ?
