WOLF
AlicebanD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want your fingers on my ribs and your thumbs on my back
And push my sides open till you hear my bones crack
And it's all for how this universe has worked out so that
I ended up just lookin so it's not that bad

And I, wish you'd take a little time to take me over for a while
And touch my soul, smile and you make your snake and wind yourself up
I cut myself and still want to grow up

And the one half sees what the other half's got
Sometimes I feel like I'd rather just rot
And I know that there are better people I know that they smell nice
Know that I am taken but I'd rather take advice from the other girl who looks better with her cheap tights on
What you gonna look like when your love is gone
Oh I've got too much space around me

Ohh I've got too many people surrounding me

And I like your shadow cause it's big and helps me up
And your music that inspires me to wake myself up
And I'm worried that I never even tried not pretending
Myself a person you'll respect and defend

And I, wish you'd take a little time to take me over for a while
And touch my soul, smile and you make your snake and wind yourself up
I cut myself and still want to grow up

And the one half sees what the other half's got
Sometimes I feel like I'd rather just rot
And I know that there are better people I know that they smell nice
Know that I am taken but I'd rather take advice from the other girl who looks better with her cheap tights on
What you gonna look like when your love is gone
Oh I've got too much space around me

Ohh I've got too many people surrounding me

When it all looks broken, nothing can stop me
I feel nothing can stop me I feel energy pulsating
And I hate this joy, I know it will break in me, suck out my energy, everything breaks in me
When it all looks broken, nothing can stop me
I feel nothing can stop me I feel energy pulsating
And I hate this joy, I know it will break in me, suck out my energy, everything breaks in me

I keep myself to myself, that's okay
Oh how I tried to share my life today
I brought my back to lose too late
And it's why I need to know he hates
When it all looks broken, nothing can stop me
I feel nothing can stop me I feel energy pulsating
And I hate this joy, I know it will break in me, suck out my energy, everything breaks in me
When it all looks broken, nothing can stop me




I feel nothing can stop me I feel energy pulsating
And I hate this joy, I know it will break in me, suck out my energy, everything breaks in me
