It's no surprise, I overslept Put my boots on, and climbed out my tent I didn't see you, assumed you were sleeping Immediately start a fire, 'cause it's freezing I can't believe you went camping in the cold I'm in the wilderness standing in some snow A late start, but we can still catch up You need to wake up, we should eat and then pack up It's when I noticed your footprints The snow's fresh and those has been put since What? You already up making the rounds? So where you at now, you laid back down? The breeze came and ?stalled? out the frame While I went to your tent and called out your name You didn't answer, so I opened up the flap It was just an empty sleeping bag and your backpack I'm looking at your tracks and you took a couple of laps Round the camp ground and hoofed down the path I think that you'll return, no concern I'ma hold put and try to make this cold wood burn The wind is blowin' strong and it's rollin' on What's going on? At least a half an hour you've been gone It ain't right, start the paranoia I left the camp site 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 nothin' 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 belonged to a big wolf Tried to find service on my cell phone I felt alright with my knife on my belt tho' I hope the wolf is intimidated by you I wondered if you even knew it was behind you Stalking ya, maybe watching ya Waitin' for the opportunity to hop on top of ya Salivatin' want to take ya to the stomach In the cartoons you would have turned into a drum stick And it gets about as bad as it goes 'Cause I notice there's a new set of tracks in the snow I understood, it doesn't look good Your fan-club doubled and now you got another wolf And the odds are in favour of the home team Why did you walk off all alone, where're 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 hurting my heart And then you started to run, so I did the same Now my breath's looking like a steam engine train And suddenly your tracks skip off of the path And so did theirs, so my knife I grabbed Into the forest, expect the worst Adrenaline burst disturb the nerves 50 yards in to the woods and ?brush? It got so thick that it looked like dusk The air stood sereen, sober Seemed like a good fifteen degrees colder And I'll admit, hell yeah I felt fear The sound of my heartbeat was all I could hear Lookin' 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 was 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'd 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'd become the game
