lyrics

When The Claws Come Out

When the claws come out, you've become a stranger to me.
When the claws come out, you've become a danger to me.
Left out in the street, no friendly faces to see.
In a wall of falling sleet, I've forgotten who I'm supposed to be.

Now he lurks about, I can feel your hostility.
When silence is a shout, why do you lose yourself with me?
When the call goes out, do I fight or do I flee?
There is no in between, there is no answer I can see.

This will be the last time. To be no more next time.
You can't comprehend, what it's done to me.
Stripped my pride and fed into my insecurity.
I had always seen this coming.

Sharpened on the whetstone, deeds of flesh in death throes.
Your ways were designed, to sink the hooks in me.
Drain me of my life and hang me out to bleed.
I had always seen this coming.
I will turn and keep on running.

But for all your moves in minor, and suppression of the truth.
Disregard for your designer, leaves the music playing you.

Deception by design, bends me to the fine line.
The wars already won, but the battle rages on.
Moving from En Prise and now I'm safe from harm.
I had always seen this coming.
I will turn and keep on running.
