The Horror and the Wild

You were raised by wolves and voices

Every night I hear them howling deep beneath your bed

They said it all comes down to you

You're the daughter of sightless watching stones

You watch the stars hurl all their fundaments

In wonderment, at you and yours, forever asking more

You are that space that's in between every page, every chord, and every screen

You are the driftwood and the rift, you're the words that I promise I don't mean

We're drunk but drinking, sunk but sinking

They thought us blind, we were just blinking

All the stones and kings of old, will hear us screaming at the cold

Remember me I ask, remember me I sing

Give me back my heart you wingless thing

Think of all the horrors that I

Promised you I'd bring

I promise you, they'll sing of every

Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child

Witness me old man, I am The Wild

You are the son of every dressing up box

And I am Time itself, I slow to let you play

I steal the hours and turn the night into day

Day by day, oh lord, three things I pray

That I might understand as best I can

How bold I was, could be, will be, still am, by god still am

Fret not dear heart, let not them hear

The mutterings of all your fears, the fluttering of all your wings

Welcome to the storm, I am thunder

Welcome to my table, bring your hunger

Think of all the horrors that I

Promised you I'd bring

I promise you, they'll sing of every

Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child

Witness me old man, I am The Wild

Remember me, remember me, remember me, remember me

Remember me I ask, remember me I sing

Think of all the horrors that I

Promised you I'd bring

I promise you, they'll sing of every

Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child

Witness me old man, I am the

Think of all the horrors that I

Promised you I'd bring

I promise you, they'll sing of every

Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child

Witness me old man, old man, old man I am the
