[Intro — “Something Inside Woke Up Hungry”]
[low rumbling sub-bass, distant wind, slow distorted heartbeat kick, faint bowed strings]
There’s a sound you only hear when you’re finally alone.
Not silence.
Something older.
Something breathing where your peace used to be.
You thought it was healing.
Turns out it was feeding.
[Verse 1 — “Hands Open, Bad Intentions”]
[minimal piano, cold and slightly detuned, soft trap hi-hats like dripping water]
I used to swear I was different
like pain didn’t leave fingerprints on me
I smiled through the cracks
like they were decoration, not damage
Every time I said “I’m fine”
something inside me laughed
quiet, patient, learning my habits
learning my weak spots
I kept reaching into dark places
calling it curiosity
calling it survival
didn’t realize I was training something
to recognize my voice
[Pre-Chorus — “It Started Small”]
[tension builds, bass rises, reversed vocal textures, ticking synth rhythm]
It started small
a thought I didn’t correct
a feeling I let stay too long
a door I didn’t lock
and it learned
[Chorus — “I Fed the Wolf”]
[full drop, heavy cinematic drums, distorted bass, layered vocals, emotional surge]
I fed the wolf inside my chest
told it pain was just a guest
now it howls when I try to rest
like it never forgets
I gave it all I couldn’t say
watched my softness slip away
now it knows my name by taste
and it don’t play safe
I fed the wolf
now it feeds on me
[Verse 2 — “Mirror With Teeth”]
[stripped back again, eerie guitar plucks, ambient hum, distant metallic echoes]
I tried to call it love
when it was really hunger wearing skin
I tried to call it growth
when it was just me giving in
every version of me I buried
didn’t stay buried
they learned how to breathe underground
and they came back louder
[Pre-Chorus 2 — “No More Control”]
[rising intensity, pulsing bass, fractured percussion, breath-like synths]
I thought I was steering it
turns out I was just opening doors
[Chorus — “I Fed the Wolf”]
[bigger, more aggressive instrumentation, layered harmonies, industrial edge]
I fed the wolf inside my chest
called it strength, called it blessed
now it never takes a rest
it just wants the rest of me
I gave it all I couldn’t save
now it lives where I behave
in the quiet I pretend I made
it howls when I cave
I fed the wolf
now it knows the way
[Bridge — “Don’t Starve It Now”]
[everything drops out except faint drone, heartbeat, whisper vocals]
Don’t starve it now
don’t pretend you don’t see it
you made it
you named it
you taught it how to be it
and now it remembers
[Final Chorus — “We Both Survive”]
[cinematic climax, huge drums, soaring distorted synths, emotional overload]
I fed the wolf inside my chest
it became what I confessed
now we fight for what is left
of who I used to be
I fed the wolf
it fed on me
now neither of us
goes free
[Outro — “Breathing in the Dark”]
[slow fade, wind returns, distant howl dissolving into silence
Not gone.
Just quieter now
Waiting…
