Wolf Within Lyrics
There is a different darkness
Deep down inside my soul
Each night I fight my hardest, hoping it won't take control
And still I taste the poison
The weight of all my wounds
My ill, infected voice from breathing in the fumes
[Chorus: Jonathan Young & Caleb Hyles]
I can hear my demons calling out
Deep in my mind
Biding their time beneath my skin
And my broken soul's a battleground
Holding the line
Desperate to find a way to win
Can I conquer the wolf within?
Can I conquer the wolf within? (Within-thin-thin-thin...)
[Post-Chorus: Jonathan Young]
The wolf within
[Verse 2: Caleb Hyles]
There is a war inside me
My soul against my mind
My shadows always find me
Every step they're close behind
And like a waning candle
A river in a drought
My flame, with every battle slowly burning out
I can hear my demons calling out
Deep in my mind
Biding their time beneath my skin
(Biding their time beneath my skin)
And my broken soul's a battleground
(A battleground)
Holding the line
Desperate to find a way to win
Can I conquer the wolf within?
Can I conquer the wolf within?
[Post-Chorus: Jonathan Young]
The wolf within
[Outro: Jonathan Young]
Conquer the wolf within
