Lyrics The Dear Hunter

The Dear Hunter

Blood

Silence slights spirits of those gone into the night

But what was the cost?

Do I justify the loss

When a loss of control would be digging myself a hole?

It couldn't be worth it

I'm a killer [x3]

But I've been killing myself all along

Had I done my best to protect innocence

Or did I lead the wolf to the fawn?

Watch your words

Keep them from bothering the herd

Provoking the stones

That they all can throw

No, I won't carry on

Living this life that I stole

It just isn't worth it

I'm a killer [x3]

But I've been killing myself all along

Divining the right from the wrong

Had I done my best to protect innocence

Or was something more wicked in store?

Is there villainy inside of me?

In search of worth

Have I burned the earth?

There's no passion in being passive

And no inaction could bring an answer

So for you, I am a killer
