White Knuckles

My life tethered like
Like a twin or a son
Scared to be severed right
Right before we'd begun

Doubled like a couple, we stood
Stood out in the light, light
Clutching each other like
Knuckles turned white, white

I cried wolf
Howled it at the moon
So, luck be damned
Break that mirror in two
I made us feel
Feel unlucky too
So, luck be damned
Break that mirror in two

Our love twisted up
Like a chain or an eight
We square angles that
That always will ache
Excuses for the bruises we wear
Black and blue night, night
Breaking each other like
Knuckles in a fight, fight

I cried wolf
Howled it at the moon
So, luck be damned
Break that mirror in two
I made us feel
Feel unlucky too
So, luck be damned
Break that mirror in two
Cry, cry wolf
I don't know what this howling will prove
Cry, cry wolf
I don't know what I'm gon, what I'm gonna lose

Cry, cry wolf
I don't know what this howling will prove
Cry, cry wolf
I don't know what I'm gon, what I'm gonna lose

Cry, cry wolf
I don't know what this howling will prove
Cry, cry wolf
I don't know what I'm gon, what I'm gonna lose
