White Knuckles

My life tethered like
Like a twin or a son
Scared to be severed right
Right before we begun
Doubled like a couple, we stood
Stood out in the light, light
Clutching each other like
Knuckles turned white, white

I've cried, wolf
Howling 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 a name
We swear ankles that
That always were late
Excuses for the bruises we wear
Black and blue now, now
Breaking each other like
Knuckles in a fight, fight

I've cried, wolf
Howling 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

I've cried, wolf
Howling 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
