Catch And Release

Brought up from the bottom, reeled into the light
Happy and hooked on your line
Spinning and spawning
I was losing sleep
Claws and teeth, dug in deep
Catch and release
Just let me go
Catch and release
Or hang on tight and hold me close
Sailing solo
A lost ship in a vast, dark sea
Lured by your allure
To be fair
I am rare
Siren for siren
I took the bait
And it felt like fate
Catch and release
Just let me go
Catch and release
Or hang on tight and hold me
The fish gets bigger and bigger and bigger
Every time you tell the tale
And if we don't end up together
I wouldn't say that we failed
Swim free, swim free, swim free
Just let me go
Swim free, swim free, swim free
Just let me go
Swim free, swim free, swim free
Just let me go
Swim free, swim free, swim free
Or hang on tight and hold me close
Catch and release
Just let me go
Catch and release
Or hang on tight and hold me close

When I'm Here

When I'm here
When I'm here
It is the leaving I fear
These memories talking
In my life
No other place
Makes me feel the way I feel when I'm here
These memories talking
And I'll never forget
The love that I've found
Beneath every rock
Up every tree
In every lake, every stream
The friends that don't go
Away from my mind
The mysteries left
And everything still to find
To find
It's so hard to convey
To them so far away
And if I could I would stay
Until they drag me away
Oh I'll wait
All winter
All summer
And all spring and all fall
I wanna do it again
So far displaced
My steps retraced
These drastic changes got me feeling so down
But I'll come around
And I'll never forget
The love that I've found
Beneath every rock
Up every tree
In every lake, every stream
The friends that don't go
Away from my mind
The mysteries left
And everything still to find
To find
It's so hard to convey
To you so far away
And if I could I would stay
Until they drag me away
I'll wait all winter
All summer
And all spring and all fall
I wanna do it again

Raised By Wolves
03:39

All alone out in the dark
Waiting for daylight
I
I hear voices calling me
But I'm nowhere in sight
Where have all of my days gone
Blended together
Born again
Again I'll try
Birds of a feather
Raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
When everything goes against the grain
And all you know spinning down the drain
Raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
Lost
I've strayed off of the path
Part of me wanted this
Stay
I know no other way
Longings I can't resist
Raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
When everything goes against the grain
And all you know spinning down the drain
You're raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
When everything goes against the grain
And all you know spinning down the drain
Raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
You're raised by

Scavengers

Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
When things aren't what they seem
And creatures bear their teeth
Looking for a snack
Look twice, but don't look back
Blood on the air sends out a call
Gorgeous gastronomy
Raw meat that can be
That can be eaten by all
Instinctively, claws extend
You can't pretend
You are a scavenger
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Fight for it.
Don't miss the kill
Your ego gets hit
And they all want a piece
Yeah they all want a piece of
They want a piece of you too
I'll lick my wounds
Survive with my pride
You can't pretend
You are a scavenger
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got
Thrown together and torn apart
Like what we like and get what we've got

Nobody knows
All we've been through
I will extend that to everyone
As long as you pretend you're having fun
Sometimes I feel like I am waiting for the end of the world
We've got our fingers on the wheel and every knuckle is curled
If only for tonight
It'll be alright
Let it fall
Let it fall
Let it fall
I'm tired of playing
Hairs are greying
I'm just saying
And we're all grown up
Hello Los Angeles
You can handle this
I can take a risk
If that's what you want
Sometimes I feel like I am waiting for the end of the world
We've got our fingers on the wheel and every knuckle is curled
If only for tonight
It'll be alright
Let it fall
Let it fall
Let it fall
For as far back as I can recall
I thought for sure there'd be an end to this all
But the world keeps turning
And the fires keeps burning
And what once seemed big now feels so small
Is this what I came here for
Is this what I'm waiting for
How will it all play out
Is this what I came here for
Is this what I'm waiting for
How will it all play out
Sometimes I feel like I am waiting for the end of the world
We've got our fingers on the wheel and every knuckle is curled
If only for tonight
It'll be alright
Let it fall
Let it fall
Let it fall
Let it fall
Let it fall
Let it fall
Don't let it fall
Let it fall
Let it fall
