"Keep Out The Wolves" lyrics

You're feeling second rate, left far behind
Overlooked by God, even the devil walks past without a second glance
And you can't make a sound
You're leaving home to find your missing voice
Unsure of where you left it
Worried all your sins have come to light
And what else can you do?
Your silence paints them true
Bring the fire, burn yourself to the ground

When you stand back up, you'll feel brand new
Now that you're facing forward
It might be some time till you can speak
But when you feel first sound
Be sure to make it count
The ones you linger, nail themselves to the floor

Hey, there's only so much you can do
To keep the wolves out at night
Hold the door shut but sooner or later
They'll swallow you whole
Yeah, they're starving for your secrets
But they'll settle for your soul
You can't escape it
They've come with torches to burn down your home

Kill all the lights and shut the door
Get down before they see you
How you've come to miss the days before
Overlooked and free and now you're on your knees

Hey, there's only so much you can do
To keep the wolves out at night
Hold the door shut but sooner or later
They'll swallow you whole
Yeah, they're starving for your secrets
But they'll settle for your soul
You can't escape it
They've come with torches to burn down your home

Watch as the flames pour in
Hear all the voices shout
That they've won, they knew all along who you really were
There's no room for monsters here
Not in this quiet town
If they can't force you out, they'll turn you to ash
To keep themselves safe
