Blood - The Dear Hunter

Silence slights spirits of those gone to 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

I’m a killer

I’m a killer

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

I’m a killer

I’m a killer

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 burnt the Earth?

There’s no passion in being passive

And no inaction can bring an answer

So for you,

I am a killer!
