Lyrics for Crying Wolf by Hammill Peter:
| | | Artist: | Hammill Peter |
| | Album: | Over | | Track: | Crying Wolf | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 188 | | | | Lyrics: | You turn out the lights and sit alone,
trying to pretend that it's anguish,
start at the
ring of a telephone,
throw down all your food at the banquet,
keep a close eye on all you
own,
while leaving it all to languish....
Is this what makes you happy?
Is this what
brings you joy?
Your excuses are so crappy...
silly boy.
You take all the love
and throw it aside
to wallow in your sorrow,
expect everyone to know how you feel
inside,
to forgive and forget come tomorrow;
repaying all your debts with uncommon
pride
but denying that you ever borrowed....
Is this what makes you perfect?
Is this
what makes you free?
Just how long did you rehearse it,
or does it just come
naturally?
Crying wolf from the depth of your sheep's heart,
crying fire from the
depth of the well
in an endless parade of repeat starts,
just how long will it last - can
you tell?
Until all your friends and lovers
are simply bored with the
pretence?
It'll be too late then to discover
just exactly what you meant
and what was
true
and what was false...
the wolf turned into human,
the killer with
remorse.
Crying pain as though that should be pleasure,
crying anger as though that
should be revenge,
crying sorrow as though that were a treasure -
your treasure will find
you in the end.
When all of your friends have gone away,
unwilling to put up with
the danger
that lies in each spiteful word you say,
you'll be left, a greying wolf in a
manger
and when you've raised your last howl
and destroyed all that you can
with
rotting teeth an slack jowls
you'll be left a lonely man.
And when it's nearly
finished
and you know the end is near
with true sorrow undiminished
there'll be
no-one left to hear....
Your desperate cries,
they all come out as bleats:
you
thought you were a wolf-man,
but you're really
just a sheep | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
