Brightsides - Werewolf Lyrics

I thought I had made it out of the darkness alive
I fumbled out of the woods and got back on my feet for a time
I stood there awhile a victorious king
But the werewolf is right on my tail
Baring his fangs in the night when I'm trying to sleep
Now all my daydreams are haunted
And I see his shadow at my feet

It's been more than a year
Since I've seen the werewolf
My enemy
It's gotten easy for me to avoid his teeth
And closest friend
But I was foolish to think that the demon was sleeping
So I compromised
And his desire for flesh will be the death of me in the end

He steps inside
His steps are in sync with mine
I even feel his heartbeat
This twisted rhythm takes ahold of me

I fear I'm going crazy
I can't control all the lust
These cravings
I'm beginning to identify
With another step
The beast is inside

It's been more than a year
Since I've seen the werewolf
My enemy
It's gotten easy for me to avoid his teeth
And closest friend
But I was foolish to think that the demon was sleeping
So I compromised
And his desire for flesh will be the death of me in the end

The death of me
The death of me

Now I know who the villain is
I became what I hated again
Broke all my promises to stay away from the poison
Now I'm a lonely wolf I need forgiveness

This shadow on the inside
Is not enough to overcome
My confidence in victory

I know that the lions roar
Makes the darkness fear
And even though my weaknesses are strong
He has shown me love
I know that the lions roar
Makes the darkness fear
I know that the lions roar
Makes the darkness fear
