Howl at the Moon

Intro

ah-ah-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah

(oh-oh) ah-ah-ah, ooh-ah

Verse

I learned to walk on broken roads with wolf teeth in my palms

I learned to howl at strangers and call them calm

My reflection wears a coat that's stitched from someone else's name

I lift my chin to the moon and the moon calls me the same

Pre-chorus

I press my hand against the cold and try to feel a spark

I try to map the place where I began, but it fades into the dark (it fades)

I keep the letters of my old life folded in my ribs

I keep the promise to myself but something always slips

Chorus

Where is my pack? where is my blood? where is the drum beneath my skin?

Where is the wolf that once would never let the world come in? (come in)

Where is my home? where is my name? where is the voice I used to know?

I howl at the moon, I howl at the moon, I howl and the moon is slow, oh-oh

Verse

I try the trails they told me — silver, tidy, lined with ease

I pace the fences, swallow salt, pretend I learned to please

They teach me how to laugh like them, how not to tear or tear up loud

But when the wind gets honest, I forget the rules I vowed

Pre-chorus

I press my palm to empty ground, I wait for footprints to appear

But every step I follow leads me farther from who I fear

There is a name I used to know, a seam I used to mend

I call it in the dark and the dark calls back again (calls back)

Chorus

Where is my pack? where is my blood? where is the drum beneath my skin?

Where is the wolf that once would never let the world come in? (come in)

Where is my home? where is my name? where is the voice I used to know?

I howl at the moon, I howl at the moon, I howl and the moon is slow, uh-huh

Bridge

oh-oh, I hold the night like a promise I can't keep (can't keep)

oh-oh, I fold my hands and I pretend I'm not asleep (not asleep)

My paws are reaching for a door that won't swing wide for me

My throat is full of empty songs and a small, stubborn plea (plea)

Chorus

Where is my pack? where is my blood? where is the drum beneath my skin?

Where is the wolf that once would never let the world come in? (come in)

Where is my home? where is my name? where is the voice I used to know?

I howl at the moon, I howl at the moon, I howl and the moon is slow

Chorus

Where is my pack? where is my blood? where is the drum beneath my skin?

Where is the wolf that once would never let the world come in? (come in)

Where is my home? where is my name? where is the voice I used to know?

I howl at the moon, I howl at the moon, I howl and the moon is slow, na-na
