Wolves Lyrics

[Chorus: Cameron, Charlie, Raphael, Nick, Jon]
I've been digging a grave
With the parts of my brain that still work
They're burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams
I've been digging a grave
With the parts of my brain that still work
They're burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams
I've been digging a grave
With the parts of my brain that still work
They're burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams

[Verse: Cameron]
I still feel a heart that's beating but I can't feel love
I still feel a life inside me but I feel no blood
I still clench my teeth and I pull out my hair
My skin and bones are bare
I've been living with the weight of the world and the moon and the stars
Burning in my eyes
I haven't seen clear for 19 years
Will you please save my life?

[Chorus: Cameron, Charlie, Raphael, Nick, Jon]
I've been digging a grave
With the parts of my brain that still work
They're burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams
I've been digging a grave
With the parts of my brain that still work
They're burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

From the band’s Bandcamp page:

Cameron: This song was originally supposed to be titled “Manic” because I wrote it about the manic depression that I struggle with each day. Bringing this concept to light was something that I found very difficult, but I was hoping people who deal with the same thing can understand and relate to these lyrics. This was the one of the first songs I wrote in a long time that’s not specifically centered on one person, rather pinning all of my problems on myself. Manic depression is not someone that you can blame on anyone, or even yourself for that matter, it’s just something I will have to deal with and make the best of for the rest of my life.
