Wolves in the Walls Lyrics

[Intro: Dave Grunewald]
Yeah, bearing down a path we have to choose
With every fear in my brain
Being told a thousand lies a thousand times
Just to keep us sane

[Verse 1: Dave Grunewald]
Do you know what they say?
When the wolves come out of the walls
They will come out of nowhere
So you better leave while there's still hope for escape

[Pre-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
Pay your mind to the wolves in the walls
We shut our eyes to see the things we've lost
When the wolves bring out their claws
They will come and get you when the darkness falls
You better leave before it's all over

[Chorus 1: Christoph Wieczorek]
Pay your mind to the wolves in the walls
We shut our eyes to see the things we've lost
All we ever gave they have planned to take
So run away, while there is still hope for escape

[Verse 2: Dave Grunewald]
I've always been afraid
Tripping on my feet
Getting down on my knees
With words too hard to speak
Quiet as a shadow whispering what I fear
[Breakdown: Dave Grunewald]
I don't want to live anywhere but here
Quieter than any mouse
No my words are not in vain
This is mine
This is my house

[Chorus 1: Christoph Wieczorek]
Pay your mind to the wolves in the walls
We shut our eyes to see the things we've lost
All we ever gave they have planned to take
So run away, while there is still hope for escape

[Post-Chorus: Dave Grunewald]
Each day living out a lie
A lie we need and we are taught to buy
Left alone until we find out
What this deception is all about
Bearing down a path we have to choose
With every fear in my brain
Being told a thousand lies a thousand times
Just to keep us sane

[Chorus 2: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
Pay no mind to the wolves in the walls
The time has come reveal the memory
Rising from the grave, where it's sound and safe
Where are we now
Somewhere in the back of your mind
[Outro: Christoph Wieczorek]
Pay your mind to the wolves in the walls
We shut our eyes to see the things we've lost
All we ever gave they have planned to take
So run away, while there is still hope for escape
