Album: The Family Sign
Atmosphere
It's no surprise I overslept Put my boots on and climbed out my tent
I didn't see you Assumed you was sleepin Immediately started a fire cause it's freezin
I can't believe we went campin in the cold I'm in the wilderness standin in some snow
A late start But we can still catch up You need to wake up We should to eat and pack up
That's when I noticed your footprints The snows fresh and those have been put since
What, you are already up, making the rounds? So where you at now, you laid back down?
The breeze came and stalled out the flame While I went to your tent and called out your name
You didn't answer So I opened up the flap it's just an empty sleeping bag And your backpack
I'm lookin at your tracks And you took a couple of laps around the campground And hoofed down the path
I figured you'll return No concern I'm hold put and try to make this cold wood burn
The wind is blowing strong Then it's rolling on it's goin on at least a half an hour you been gone
It aint right Start the paranoia I left the campsite To go search for ya
I read the trail your feet made Each step was deliberately placed
It looks like you know where it leads But I see nothing but leafless, frozen trees
About a quarter mile into the course And another set of tracks appeared next to yours
From the north it came out of the thick woods And those footprints belong to a big wolf
Trying to find service on my cell phone I felt aight with a knife on my belt though
I hope the wolf is intimidated by you I wonder if you even knew it was behind you
Stalkin ya, maybe watchin you Waiting for the opportunity to hop on top of ya
Salivatin, wantin to take ya to the stomach In cartoons you would of turned into a drumstick
And it gets about as bad as it goes Cause I noticed there's a new set of tracks in the snow
I understood It doesn't look good Your fan club doubled Now you got another wolf
And the odds are now in favor of the home team Why you walk off, all alone, where you going?
It ain't the right time to complain But, it feels like I'm trying to find your remains
Your footprints grew further apart I knew what that meant And it was hurtin my heart
It means you started to run So I did the same Now my breaths lookin like a steam engine train
Sudden your tracks dip off of the path And so did theirs So my knife I grabbed
Into the forest Expect the worst Adrenaline burst Disturbed the nerves
Fifty yards into the woods and brush It got so thick That it looked like dusk
The air stood serene Sober Seemed like a good 15 degrees colder
And I'll admit Hell yeah I felt fear The sound of my heartbeat was all I could hear
Looking at the snow It was plain and clear There was a third set of wolf prints where yours disappeared
I can't process I don't follow It'd be easier to believe that you were swallowed
But no sign of death No sign of struggle No signs of blood No signs of trouble
And the wolves never stopped The tracks kept going And I took off
So I don't know how your story ends But I know I'll never go into those woods again
It's not that tragic It's not a shame You're not the hunted You're not the aim
You're just another dog with hunger pains I was so afraid that you become the game
I forgot to worry about what you became You're not the hunted You're not the aim
You're just another dog with hunger pains I was so afraid that you become the game
It's not that tragic It's not a shame You're not the hunted You're not the aim
You're just another dog with hunger pains I was so afraid that you become the game
I forgot to worry about what you became
