A life for a life, but what's there to gain?
All I see for either side is senseless pain.
As a hungry wolf holding onto it's prey I would beg you to go away
My dying body has nothing to give, no blood, no beating heart and no more love to give
And as I beg you to let go, your teeth only seem to grow
Sharper by the day so I will do whatever you will say
But at night
You lick my wounds You caress my malnourished ribs
You love me that I know
But when will a wolf learn to let go?
You give me freedom but bind me with chains
You love me when lonely but never when needed
You keep me alive but barely hanging on
And I'll stay alive
You need me to live
You won't let me die
When will a wolf learn to let go?
A deathly grip with a suffocating mercy
Since when has dying made me unworthy
Not living, not dying and probably not even trying
I am only lying here paralysed by fear
Of living
Of loving
Of leaving
So rip my throat open
Let me knock on death's door
Because life like this isn't worth it anymore
When will a wolf learn to let go?
By now I'm sure you know what they say
A life for a life, but I stand here this day
My life isn't worth it, my dear loving wolf
So please, I beg you, for nothing in return
Let me go
Take me
Break me
Make me yours
But when all is said and done
My merciless wolf, you know you have won
Break my chains, untie the chord
Let me do things of my own accord
But if you won't, which I'm sure of now,
Show me your kindest gesture
For I am but your prey, whom you chose to let live
No, I am your victim, whom you chose not to let die
When will a wolf learn to let go?
