lyrics

I was running with a pack of wolves
Empty hearts companion of fools

Broke my teeth on the chains that held
My heart was broken, from what I felt

Predators by day predators by night
Circle around me, the company of fright.

All alone thought I was free
Hunting for food shaking at the knees

Call me lovely ill never be alone
Call me beautiful you be my home.

The cold that I laid with, in my sleep
Was a cold reminder, of all that I need

Of simple truth simple love
That won my heart when I was young

So tried to work prove myself
White knuckled scarred as hell.

That I couldn’t sit shouldn’t sleep
Tried my best to earn my keep.

Call me lovely ill never be alone
Call me beautiful you be my home.

I will bury my tears where only you can see
Behind doors lock and key.
I was empty house filled with ghost
Wandering up and down barren the coast.

You taught my mouth to sing
You taught my heart to believe.
I was a dead man you see
You came and revived me.

You taught my arms, how to hold
You taught my mouth, to be bold.
I was a dead man you see
you came and revived me.
