WOLVES & MACHINES LYRICS

"Ailments"

Sans all the aches
Sans all the allergies
I think I've found what's ailing me

Sans my routine
My routine insomnia
I think I've found what's shaking me

If everyone I love would stop leaving me
I wouldn't feel the greed in begging them to stay
It's like every move they make is just reminding me
That there are many, many better men than me

Though the infection has spread
It's not disease that I regret
It's the ring

I feel it wasting away
I feel it wasting away

I'm the sea's captive captain
And the Stockholm's won't set in
Get me home

All I see is an empty place
All I see is an empty frame

In the depths of where I am
With the cold and lack of oxygen
These memories still kill me
In a way drowning never could

Asleep I feel my skin begin
The process of unraveling
I pray it's just the ailments
I pray I can shake myself awake

Though the infection has spread
It's not disease that I regret
It's the ring

I feel it wasting away
I feel it wasting away

I'm the sea's captive captain
And the Stockholm's won't set in
Get me home

All I see is an empty place
All I see is an empty frame

I held out for a friend
Not the phantom I found
Telling lies and keeping secrets from me

This season got bitter
Before it got better
It's the distance and it keeps ailing me

It was the youth that we found
We were bound to it
It changed the words I sing
Restless, hung up on vows
And missing living civil and sane

The youth that we found
We clung to it
It changed the way I speak
This love is leaving or left
And your joy still ails me to death
