Hungry Mouths Don't Acquiesce Songtext

Chorus
Though I've tried to put the past to rest and let sleeping dogs lay,
I've been chasing my own tail for far too long.
You've been thrown to the wolves,
We're all looking for prey.
I won't stop until I am no longer hungry.
In the skin of a sheep
I make a cunning display.
Now I've got what I wanted, I'll be on your way.

I do believe that there's a heart inside of me
But it's been dormant for what feels like a thousand centuries
Though I may take full responsibility,
You're a casualty of reality, and in that I find relief.

If you don't run
You better come out swinging
'cause I'm lookin' for blood
And you can bet I'm thirsty
Though I've tried to put the past to rest and let sleeping dogs lay,
I've been chasing my own tail for far too long.
You've been thrown to the wolves,
We're all looking for prey.
I won't stop until I am no longer hungry.
In the skin of a sheep
I make a cunning display.
Now I've got what I wanted, I'll be on your way.

In every man, there's an internal conflict
Be it beast or mortal disease.
I lay waste to honest intentions
And make a mockery of the living.

Though I've tried to put the past to rest and let sleeping dogs lay,
I've been chasing my own tail for far too long.
You've been thrown to the wolves,
We're all looking for prey.
I won't stop until I am no longer hungry.
In the skin of a sheep
I make a cunning display.
Now I've got what I wanted, I'll be on your way.
