Howl (Live)

from Into the Wilderness Live by Eliza Delf

lyrics

Howl
I’ve sat in the spotlight and I’ve spoken aloud,
Ripped open my chest and let blood fall on the ground.
It’s brought me no pleasure and it’s brought me no gain,
And now soap and water have erased the stain.

Crayons drew me in but they went over the lines,
Tried to use Monopoly money to hush up my crime.
But there were no sirens and no blue lights,
So I took out my bow to go hunting for a good time.

I stepped out of a cage that I made,
A willing audience to serenade.
The best minds can be so very foul.
Listen to me howl.
We step out of cages we make,
With willing audiences to serenade.
The best minds are always so foul,
Listen, listen, listen to me howl.

I’ve got red lipstick on my new identity,
Don’t be shy.
New skin does not replace old,
I feel a comfort in these dear old bones.

Now I get the urge to throw myself at the sky,
Go floating through the clouds,
Watching the world from a-high.
And when I touch down I’ll send the past a card;
A new woman, but with the old I’m reconciled.

I stepped out of a cage that I made,
A willing audience to serenade.
The best minds can be so very foul.
Listen to me howl.
We step out of cages we make,
With willing audiences to serenade.
The best minds are always so foul,
Listen, listen, listen to me howl.

You make me, you make me, you make me hungry.
You make me, you make me, you make me hungry.
You make me, you make me, you make me hungry.
You make me, you make me, you make me hungry.

I stepped out of a cage that I made,
A willing audience to serenade.
The best minds can be so very foul.
Listen to me howl.
We step out of cages we make,
With willing audiences to serenade.
The best minds are always so foul,
Listen, listen, listen to me howl.
