Howl

In other words, don’t f— with me.

Lyrics

I strike a match, my warning to the shadows.
Wolves and ghosts, they creep between these trees.
I swore that I would never stoop to fight them
Just shrink and hide and feed them more of me.

If I break free will you come with me
Toward the glow along the ridge line
Untamed and way up high.
Your eyes tell me not to go now
But fear can’t hold us down, not this time
Oh oh oh come on let’s fly
I’m going but I won’t go free alone.

All these hideouts lock me in like prisons 
What’s this heat, this pounding in my veins
A headlong rush to risk it all for freedom.
But I’m the only guard left in my way.

If I break free will you come with me
Toward the glow along the ridge line
Untamed and way up high.
Your eyes tell me not to go now
But fear can’t hold us down, not this time
Oh oh oh come on let’s fly
I’m going but I won’t go free alone.

Show your faces all you shadow slingers
Count the stars above me through the pines
They’ll hear my battle cry, they’ll hear me whisper
So howl if you want to, we’ll be fine. 

If I break free will you come with me
Toward the glow along the ridge line
Untamed and way up high.
Your eyes tell me not to go now
But fear can’t hold us down, not this time
Oh oh oh come on let’s fly
I’m going but I won’t go free alone.
Oh oh I’m going but I won’t go free alone.
