Crying Wolf

[Verse 1]
I could beg for mercy, try to change my name
I'd be fooling myself 'cause nobody gives a damn
Well, our hearts run dry and the story's never full
And this creek runs high and you been crying wolf

[Chorus]
We been crawling (Crawling) like a slow death (Slow death)
Way too long like an old dress
You're draped in red and I'm a dying bull

[Verse 2]
Well, it looks to me like you've just seen a ghost
But I've seen enough to know that there's no hope
It's just you and me and the ashes on our hands
From a burned up dream of a promise of a promised land

[Chorus]
We been crawling (Crawling) like a slow death (Slow death)
Way too long like an old dress
You're draped in red and I'm a dying bull

[Post-Chorus]
In the howling (Howling) and the low breath (Low breath)
Held too long in a sweet duet
I'm crying out, you been crying wolf

[Bridge]
Whiskey and wine and the shoulder of time
They been known to dull the pain
The devil you know and the devil you don't
Ain't supposed to share a name

[Chorus]
We been crawling (Crawling) like a slow death (Slow death)
Way too long like an old dress
You're draped in red and I'm a dying bull

[Post-Chorus]
In the howling (Howling) and the low breath (Low breath)
Held too long in a sweet duet
I'm crying out, you been crying wolf
I'm crying out, you been crying wolf
I'm crying out, you been crying wolf
