lyrics

In fields of straw, we’re raised around a wolf
Even though we’re young and can not see the fence yet
And I withdraw, I freeze here with the lambs
Like her before
The fear it is rising, I want to go
A wolf is arriving again
Stares at me writhing, a centerfold, oh
Like her before, oh
If I listen close I hear her voice again now
Or my worst fears, oh
She screams at me to listen up closely
She calls for rising fire
The grit it is climbing, I want to yell
A wolf is arriving again
Stare at him writhing, and breathe the smell, oh
Like her after
Today, we set a fire,
We go up higher, and kill the dog on the straw
We lock our hands and can’t help but smile and watch smoke rise, rise
She calls us surprising, and says she's tired 
It feels like she’s dying again
Stares at us smiling, she's all inspired
Screams out loud I knew I’d find you, outside the flame
Get out the field, get out past the fence
Get out where your ashes are wild
Now you can feel, way out past the fence
See if you can heal anymore
And you don’t look back to who you were before
