Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It came like a prayer, dressed in heat and hush
Wore my hunger like a velvet crush
Said, “Call me need, or call me fate”
But either way, I came too late
[Verse 2]
It didn’t snarl, it didn’t fight
Just curled beside me every night
I fed it hope, I gave it name
Now every breath still fans the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
When did comfort turn to cost
When did the wild replace what I lost
[Chorus]
I let the wild in, thinking it’d save me
It burned like truth and just enslaved me
It wrapped my soul in hunger’s grin
Now I’m the cage it’s living in
It wore my voice, it learned my skin
And now it howls from deep within
I thought I’d lead, I thought I’d win
But I made a home it’s still sleeping in
[Verse 3]
It learned to move just like I do
Said, “I’m not here to conquer—you”
But it laid roots beneath my spine
And stole the mirror I called mine
[Verse 4]
It gave me fire, it gave me thrill
But never taught me how to heal
It kissed like grace, then bit like sin
Left claw marks just beneath my grin
[Pre-Chorus]
Did I mistake the leash for love
Or just confuse the fall with rise above
[Chorus]
I let the wild in, thinking it’d save me
It burned like truth and just enslaved me
It wrapped my soul in hunger’s grin
Now I’m the cage it’s living in
It wore my voice, it learned my skin
And now it howls from deep within
I thought I’d lead, I thought I’d win
But I made a home it’s still sleeping in
[Verse 5]
I let the wild in, gave it grace
Now it wears my voice, it wears my face
It doesn’t growl—it just decides
What parts of me it still resides
[Verse 6]
I let the wild in, just to feel
But it made my mercy kneel
Taught me pain could dress in light
Then left me loving what ain't right
[Pre-Chorus]
What if the monster wears my skin
What if I let it all begin
[Chorus]
I let the wild in, thinking it’d save me
It burned like truth and just enslaved me
It wrapped my soul in hunger’s grin
Now I’m the cage it’s living in
It wore my voice, it learned my skin
And now it howls from deep within
I thought I’d lead, I thought I’d win
But I made a home it’s still sleeping in
[Verse 7]
I let the wild in, soft as sin
It wore a smile but pulled me in
Now every road just loops around
To where I lost, but thought I'd found
[Verse 8]
I let the wild in, thought I’d lead
But it fed on every secret need
Now it howls behind my grin
And names the dark I’m drowning in
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you escape what sleeps inside
Can you bury what won’t hide
[Chorus]
I let the wild in, thinking it’d save me
It burned like truth and just enslaved me
It wrapped my soul in hunger’s grin
Now I’m the cage it’s living in
It wore my voice, it learned my skin
And now it howls from deep within
I thought I’d lead, I thought I’d win
But I made a home it’s still sleeping in
[Verse 9]
I let the wild in, called it home
Now I walk with ghosts I own
They wear my dreams, they speak in rhyme
And steal the breath I thought was mine
[Verse 10]
I let the wild in, thought it’d heal
But pain in silk still cuts as real
It sings in keys I can't unlearn
And leaves behind what doesn't burn
[Pre-Chorus]
Did I confuse the growl for grace
Or did I crave the danger’s face
[Chorus]
I let the wild in, thinking it’d save me
It burned like truth and just enslaved me
It wrapped my soul in hunger’s grin
Now I’m the cage it’s living in
It wore my voice, it learned my skin
And now it howls from deep within
I thought I’d lead, I thought I’d win
But I made a home it’s still sleeping in
[Verse 11]
I let the wild in, built its bed
Now it sleeps where peace once led
It doesn't roar—it simply stays
And hums through all my better days
[Verse 12]
I let the wild in, sweet and slow
Now I forget the way back home
It learned my name, then stitched it tight
To every scream I hushed at night
[Pre-Chorus]
What’s the cost of feeling more
What comes knocking when you open that door
[Chorus]
I let the wild in, thinking it’d save me
It burned like truth and just enslaved me
It wrapped my soul in hunger’s grin
Now I’m the cage it’s living in
It wore my voice, it learned my skin
And now it howls from deep within
I thought I’d lead, I thought I’d win
But I made a home it’s still sleeping in
[Bridge]
I lit the match, I closed the door
Thought I could burn just once, not more
But wild don’t knock—it moves right through
And leaves its scent on all you do
[Pre-Chorus]
When did passion start to bite
When did wrong start feeling right
[Final Chorus]
I let the wild in, gave it grace
Now it wears my voice, it wears my face
It doesn’t growl—it just decides
What parts of me it still resides
I thought I’d win, I thought I’d mend
But you don’t choose how wild things end
[Outro]
Some beasts you feed, then can't evict
Some truths don’t break—they just inflict
