No Wolf Like the Present

In a safe house he baits

Can you blame the conniving

Bludgeoned by the prowler cars

He's been running since the day

That they tagged his skin

A walking cypher kicking calendars

He hears the sirens

He hears his song play everyday

From Potemkin mills

Where the winds erase

They use our past to evict us

In a land that stole

A kestrel from the knave

Smothered inmates full at capacity

He hears the sirens

He hears his song play everyday

It's open season check the body cam

There's no wolf like the present

They own your history and scrap it for parts

There's no wolf like the presence

Of insignificance

There's no wolf like the present

They own your history and scrap it for parts

There's no wolf like the presence

Of insignificance tantivy run

He's been on the lam so long

He knows the rules of the hunt

Carving X's into bullets for luck

While the veneer of civilization grinds

Light bulbs into his food supply

He hears the sirens

He hears his song play everyday

It's open season check the body cam

There's no wolf like the present

They own your history and scrap it for parts

There's no wolf like the presence

Of insignificance

There's no wolf like the present

They own your history and scrap it for parts

There's no wolf like the presence

Of insignificance tantivy run

Tantivy run!

There's no wolf like the present

They own your history and scrap it for parts

There's no wolf like the presence

Of insignificance

There's no wolf like the present

They own your history and scrap it for parts

There's no wolf like the presence

Of insignificance

There's no wolf like the present

There's no wolf like the scrap

There's no wolf like the present

Of insignificance tantivy run
