Raised like a wolf

When there’s marks on your skin

You can’t scream, keep it in till you’re pushed to the edge

There’s a warmth in your soul but it’s squashed into coal

And keeps you warm

when it burns

It keeps you warm

When the fire rushes to your chest

Everything you hide will make its way out of your skull

And all this time you felt alone

Everyone you love was waiting for you to arrive

and engage

Take all the time that you need to feel safe in

yourself but never run

When a sparks in your mouth and you can’t blow it out

It keeps you warm

when it burns

It keeps you warm

When the fire rushes to your chest

Everything you hide will make its way out of your skull

And all this time you felt alone

Everyone you love was waiting for you to arrive and all this noise means you’re alive

When you’re drifting off and absent

When you’re fighting off the madness

You are distracted from the ones that you love

And the battle with the noise is never enough

When the fire rushes to your chest

Everything you hide will make its way out of your skull

And all this time you thought you were alone

Everyone you love was waiting for you

When the fire rushes to your chest

Everything you hide will make its way out of your skull

And all this time you felt alone

Everyone you love is waiting for you to arrive all this noise means you’re alive
