about

Many times in life we find ourselves running from something. We run from those who have wronged us, from tragedy, from responsibility, or simply the past. Sometimes though, we are chased by something unknown. We run and run, always trying to stay ahead of it, but it keeps nipping at our heels. Not all that follows us can be outrun. Sometimes we have to turn and face that thing to find peace and grow stronger.

Sometimes we realize the thing we were running from, was ourselves.

lyrics

Waiting for the wolves
To make a meal out of me
You know I've seen stranger things
Happen round here
But nothings more unusual
Than seeing yourself
Become the very thing
That rang the dinner bell

Looks like the feast is upon me
Or so it always was
I guess I should be grateful
For it takes a hunger
To see what you're really worth

Now I'm skin and bones
Took every piece of me
Strange how the weight is gone
All that's left is me
Stripped down to the very soul
I gave myself for free
I've become the very thing
That's been chasing me

Looks like the beast is upon me
Or so it always was
I guess I should be grateful
For in the den of wolves
You see what you're really worth
