Wolves
Talkin' about these wolves, debating on which now to feed
My instincts versus logic, focus, remember how to breathe
It's based upon my core, but somehow it don't bother me
I'd rather starve my heart if that's what it takes for me to see
On one hand we have the enabler, no walls, the doors are open
But understand I have a castle, the surrounding moat is growing
While I search for opportunity shrouded in this optimism
I know I must be true to me and evaluate the top decisions
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, the foreboding is exciting
Yet my soul is battle-scarred and it's weary from the fighting
Driving on, looking back, I'm preparing for my futures
Violent nightmares are the lesion and I'm always lacking sutures
So I push forward and I bleed black, restricted vessels in my heart track
Priorities all fucked up and sometimes I might mismatch
And I feed the one, suffocate the other, exalted crown compared to the gutter
The kingdom and the peasantry both shedding light on the same color
Then the comfort switches, hemorrhage, it pitches, what I thought was wealth was actually far from riches
And I tried so hard, man, I was so ambitious, but I learned to stop being superstitious
And I raised these wolves, but they're hard to father, my insecurities like cannon fodder
No middle ground, I'm all cold and bothered, and it's either that or be yoked and collared
Tomorrow's the question and comfort's the zone, every step I take further is farther from home
Trials and challenges, everything's shown, as these wolves are gnawing my flesh to my bone
They're deceiving diseases, deceit and defeat is- altering my mind, now how do I beat this?
By now I don't understand what good a feat is, victory is bitterly picking the pieces
Nothing prevails, regression entails that these wolves are steadily focused on fails
When I support the one, the other, it trails, waits 'till I'm weak and then it assails
The good and the bad and the evil in action, these factions have divided me into fractions
Petrified fear, a valid reaction, the feverish heart, like is a ballad distraction
So what do I do with the ebb and the flow? When one of them comes, the other must go
So how do I balance, how do I know? How can I tell when to reap what I sow?
How can I differ from stagnance and grow? When covered by light, can you possibly glow?
How do I run from the darkness and woe? Do I accept that a goodbye will follow hello?
Forsaken misfortune, so long ago, does a bad thing mean good will eventually show?
Like towering mountains covered in snow, ominous omens, yet hallowed in tow
Covered by chains, meaning to slow, how do I compensate foes that I owe?
All those who rise are bound to plateau, compromise with quid, the pro and the quo
These fucking wolves enforce fearful false design, indulging them is a common fault of mine
The bad assumed will soon assault the spine while the good is fine when time's combined
But I'm back and forth, so indecisive, can't make my mind, it confides then hides it
Can't begin to gauge, no way to size it, I accept the loss, then defy to spite it
And I might deny it with quiet defiance, or I'll change my stance, be quite compliant
Either way, no undermining, they say it's tragic, So I'll redefine it
Can't hurt my pride, don't try a lion, duos, I'm assigned a pack alliance
It's not reliance, I'm a flying giant, reserving's just an apt appliance
Then I snap back from this dreamland with my wits sharp, no sleep, and
No longer try to be apart, these wolves and I, together we stand
And we've planned every season despite the fights and the reasons
To depart the start with heart, all else is treason
And I saw the law raise and bare its claw, my resistance act the final straw
Locked me silent like a frozen jaw, cryogenic, I'm not meant to thaw
The wolves reaction like a rolling dice, a device to determine and judge my vice
Polar-tempered, yet paradise, can't communicate if I don't break the ice
Even after all these struggles I still don't know which one to feed
Every step I take is hesitant, are these warnings that I should heed?
Do I need to make this plead? Do they direct this life that I lead?
The grievance supersedes and it's got me down upon my knees
It's like I've lost all forms of control, they don't care about the toil and this toll
No longer lurking, they've become bold, they're just waiting for the moment I fold
Inside me creeping this wrapping cold, I'm just trying to break this trapping mold
I've been battling this for fate untold, it's endless, it can't be controlled.
My instincts versus logic, focus, remember how to breathe
It's based upon my core, but somehow it don't bother me
I'd rather starve my heart if that's what it takes for me to see

Forever?
Oh, my darling,
If only you could see what war has done to me.
