Florence and the Machine - Howl lyrics

rate me

If you could only see the beast you've made of me<br />

I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free<br />

Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart<br />

Drive my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart<br />

<br />

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in<br />

You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl<br />

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in<br />

You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to<br />

<br />

Howl, howl<br />

Howl, howl<br />

<br />

Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack<br />

My blood is stinging with your voice, I want to pour it out<br />

The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound<br />

I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground<br />

<br />

Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my brain<br />

I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness<br />

<br />

And howl, howl<br />

Howl, howl<br />

<br />

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers<br />

Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters<br />

Hunters, hunters, hunters<br />

Hunters, hunters, hunters<br />

<br />

The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress<br />

Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest<br />

The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound<br />

I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground<br />

<br />

And howl<br />

<br />

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers<br />

Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters<br />

<br />

A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night <br />

May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright<br />

<br />

If you could only see the beast you've made of me<br />

I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free<br />

The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound<br />

I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground
