They said I’d never leave the pines, said the cold was in my bones But the *heatwaves* called my name and now I’m claiming this as home *Running* down the shoreline, paws where boots used to be Trading timber for the tide, trading howls for the *sea* Salt wind in my fur feels *fresh* against the past Alpha of the tree line? Nah, I’m free of that at last And the sun don’t judge a predator Just tans the scars I came here for This is *Wolf Beach*, where the water’s *warm* Where the *sand* burns quick but it heals you slow I’m *swimming* out past where the good dogs go No leash, no law, just the undertow Yeah it’s *beautiful*, wild and strange A *wolf* in the waves, yeah I finally changed On *Wolf Beach*, where the wild things play Under *heatwaves* and the end of day Used to track through frozen creeks, now I chase the foam *Beach* comb for silver fish and driftwood hearts to hold No pack behind me, no pack up ahead Just gulls that scream my name and the thoughts inside my head The *sea* don’t care if I was once a killer in the trees It just pulls me in and pulls me out and teaches me to breathe And the moon still finds me here But she’s dancing on the pier This is *Wolf Beach*, where the water’s *warm* Where the *sand* burns quick but it heals you slow I’m *swimming* out past where the good dogs go No leash, no law, just the undertow Yeah it’s *beautiful*, wild and strange A *wolf* in the waves, yeah I finally changed On *Wolf Beach*, where the wild things play Under *heatwaves* and the end of day Maybe I’ll go back when the winter calls Maybe I’ll remember how the forest falls But right now I’m *fresh*, right now I’m free Right now the only tracks I make are for the *sea* *Running* from nothing... to something... This is *Wolf Beach*, where the water’s *warm* Where the *sand* burns quick but it heals you slow I’m *swimming* out past where the good dogs go No leash, no law, just the undertow Yeah it’s *beautiful*, wild and strange A *wolf* in the waves, yeah I finally changed On *Wolf Beach*, where the wild things play Under *heatwaves* — I’m here to stay *Wolf Beach*... *running*... still *warm*... until nightfall.
