lyrics

Don't send me out there
With that scent on the breeze
Don't you know I'm hungry still?

Will I have to beg to be locked up again?
Don't want to wake up asking where Am I again.

The feeling starts to crawl
It's something animal
And there's only one minute left until nightfall

Gaps in my memory
Moments blank and red
days later my guts wrenching still

Will I stay a slave to these missing nights?
Don't want to wake up asking what am again?

The feeling starts to crawl
It's something animal
And there's only one minute left until nightfall

Two lovers walk hand in hand tonight
And two lovers walk hand in hand tonight
One lover runs home tonight.

So you send me out there
That moon heavy in the sky
Oh I'm hungry still

Won't ever beg
To be locked up again
The moon is full and the sky is red as blood tonight.
