The Dear Hunter

Ouroboros

I bet you thought that you'd succeed

Pulling the wool right over me

Hard to believe this snake stayed in the grass

just long enough to catch your Rabbit's feet

With telescoping glances

Hands romanced enticing you to keep

Laboring against the clock in spite of secrecy

You couldn't know revealed itself

To me the second you decided to compete

I fell down then I fell apart

"I never wanted to hurt no one.

I never wanted to be your city's son"

I cried out to his crooked heart

"I Never wanted to hurt no one. No one but you"

I bet you thought that you could breathe

A satisfied sigh of relief

A terrible thing, forgetting where you came from

Or have you trouble when you fall asleep

I’ve seen you fabricate, manipulate and here, you masquerade

But if we're poaching ghosts, you know I’ve got a few that I would raise

Settle yourself

As long as I’m protected

You can bet your secret's safe with me

I Fell down then I fell apart

"I never wanted to hurt no one

I never wanted to be your City's son"

I cried out to his crooked heart

"I never wanted to hurt no one. No one but You"

Lost my soul

In the place of the great deceiver

Foolish hearts led foolish plans Awry

They told me don't veer far from your home

Try never to leave her

Near I Landed; here I’ll live and die

Travelled too far from the river's side

It wasn't long before I felt nothing below me

And all of the ground I thought I’d gained

Taken away

Thought I was strong; not strong enough;

My mettle was bending

Foolish plans kissed Foolish hearts goodbye

Travelled too far from the river's side
