[Verse 1]
Footprints on my land
Arrow in a friend hide
And I got a fight going on deep inside
Got a halo hangin' by a thread
And a middle finger doin' the rest
I keep talkin' sweet like a saint
While I sharpen up every regret
Got a hunger under my ribs
That I haven't figured out yet
[Chorus]
There are two wolves in my chest
One wants blood
One wants breath
One screams burn it to the ground
One says kid
Just hear me out
Every choice
Every breath
Feeds a fang or feeds a friend
Two wolves in my chest
Who do I starve
Who do I let in?
[Verse 2]
Black fur paces when I'm slighted
White fur waits beside the door
One howls "take what you can"
One says "you don't need more"
I'm a campfire caught in the crosswind
Smoke pulled both ways in my head
Every word that leaves my tongue
Is a trail one of them gets fed
[Chorus]
There are two wolves in my chest
One wants blood
One wants rest
One claws
"never let it slide"
One says
"lay that weight aside"
Every grudge
Every kiss
Loads the breath or loads the hit
Two wolves in my chest
Who do I starve
Who do I live with?
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to floor toms and claps]
I am teeth
I am mercy
I am curse
I am blessing
Every night around this heart
They circle
Circle
Circle
I am rage
I am healing
I am harm
I am meaning
Who I am is who I feed
So choose
Choose
Choose
[Chorus]
There are two wolves in my chest
One wants blood
One wants best
One shouts "mine" till the end
One says "we could both ascend"
Every fight
Every friend
Tips the scale
Bends the limb
Two wolves in my chest
(hey!)
Tonight I starve the one that wrecks
And let the kinder one sink its teeth in
[Outro]
[Band hits double-time
Gang vocals chanting]
Two wolves
One heart
Which one
Do you
Feed?
