Became

[Verse 1] It's no surprise I overslept Put my boots on and climbed out my tent I didn't see you, assumed you were sleeping Immediately start a fire cause it's freezing I can't believe we went camping in the cold I'm in the wilderness standing in some snow A late start, but we can still catch up You need to wake up, we should eat and then pack up [Verse 2] That's when I noticed your foot prints The snow's fresh and those have been put since What, you're already up making the rounds? So where you at now, you laid back down? The breeze came and it stalled out the flame While I went to your tent and called out your name You didn't answer, so I opened up the flap It's just an empty sleeping bag and your backpack [Verse 3] I'm looking at your tracks and You took a couple laps Around the campground and hoofed down the path I figure you'll return, no concern I'mma hold put and try to make this cold wood burn The wind is blowing strong, minutes rolling on It's going on at least a half an hour you've been gone [Verse 4] It ain't right, start the paranoia I left the camp site to go and search for ya I read the trail your feet made Each step was deliberately placed It looks like you know where it leads But I see nothing but leafless frozen trees About a quarter mile into the course Another set of tracks appeared next to yours From the north it came out of the thick woods And those footprints belong to a big wolf [Verse 5] Trying to find service on my cellphone I felt aight with my knife on my belt, though I hope the wolf is intimidated by you I wondered if you even knew what was behind you Stalking ya, maybe watching ya Waiting for the opportunity to hop on top of ya Salivating', wanna take ya to the stomach In the cartoons you would have turned into a drumstick [Verse 6] And it gets about as bad it goes Cause I notice there's a new set of tracks in the snow I understood, it doesn't look good Your fan club doubled, now you've got another wolf And the odds are in favor of the home team Why'd you walk off all alone, where you going? It ain't the right time to complain, but It feels like I'm trying to find your remains [Verse 7] Your foot prints grew further apart I knew what that meant and it was hurting my heart It means you started to run, so I did the same Now my breaths looking like a steam engine train Suddenly your tracks dip off of the path And so did theirs, so my knife I grabbed Into the forest, expect the worst Adrenaline burst disturbed the nerves [Verse 8] 50 yards into the woods and brush It got so thick that it looked like dusk The air stood serene, sober It seemed like a good 15 degrees colder And I'll admit: Hell yeah, I felt fear The sound of my heart beat was all I could hear Looking at the snow it was plain and clear There was a third set of wolf prints where yours disappeared [Verse 9] I can't process, I don't follow It would be easier to believe that you were swallowed With no sign of death, no sign of struggle No signs of blood, no signs of trouble And the wolves never stopped The tracks kept going and I took off So I don't know how your story ends But I know I'll never go into those woods again [Chorus] It's not that tragic, it's not a shame You're not the hunted, you're not the aim You just another dog with hunger pains I was so afraid that you'd become the game I forgot to worry about what you became You're not the hunted, you're not the aim You just another dog with hunger pains I was so afraid that you'd become the game I forgot to worry about what you became
