The first song from the Children With Wolf Heads album announces the story with an intro that has been described as a "descent into guitar hell." Then the song proper begins, detailing the escape from normalcy (a traveling freak show wagon caravan) and into the wild unknown.

lyrics

It can be very frightening, running and then hiding
I’m glad that you’re here with me to keep out the monsters and ghosts
When we made a run for who knew we were going to survive
But all of us are stronger together than god is alive
And did you stop to look back I was too scared of the sun
It rises on the men and exposes our flesh to them

And all the things we used to be were left for who we are

What was the noise up on the pass, where the mountains turn to grass?
We were the guts of that machine at least until it spit us out
Suddenly there was a scream but no bars to keep us in
So like a cancer to a cell we took to the earth and destroyed
And like a river overflows we took it whole

And all the things we used to be were left for who we are
