The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town lyrics
[The Dear Hunter - A Night on the Town lyrics]
I've been misplaced in so many ways
Broken battlegrounds
Hiding veils of delicate deceit
Yet here I breathe
Teeth still gleam from holy water
While millions of lambs migrate
To the slaughter my head in a bag and my
Hands are bound to my feet and voices sing
"Were we erased like common thieves?
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
All because we never had written a word"
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
Must we remind of exchanges
Existing so long ago?
Would we arrive at agreeable musings?
Sentimental or just confusing?
We lost what we had, but we took it back
Friends in the gutter, enjoy one another
Just give yourself to the dust and
The dirt where you stand
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
I'm not who you think I am
And even if I thought you'd known
I never would have told you so
And more alarming
I would have done the very same
Would have stole more than your name
Would have cursed and brought the
World on your shoulders
I was in the wrong place at the right time
And what's the worst I'd see
By giving myself to the earth below me
Not knowing how far I'd fall
By casting away the ordinary
Just how long can I stay in
Illusions formed here long before me?
And how long can I breathe
This stolen breath here underneath?
There's that subtle smile that did me in
She moves an agony reminds where I've been
She breathes
"I'd never let this happen again"
Where's your heart? Mimicking the patriarch
She's naïve (blissfully)
Broken battlegrounds
Hiding veils of delicate deceit
Yet here I breathe
Teeth still gleam from holy water
While millions of lambs migrate
To the slaughter my head in a bag and my
Hands are bound to my feet and voices sing
"Were we erased like common thieves?
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
All because we never had written a word"
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
Must we remind of exchanges
Existing so long ago?
Would we arrive at agreeable musings?
Sentimental or just confusing?
We lost what we had, but we took it back
Friends in the gutter, enjoy one another
Just give yourself to the dust and
The dirt where you stand
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
I'm not who you think I am
And even if I thought you'd known
I never would have told you so
And more alarming
I would have done the very same
Would have stole more than your name
Would have cursed and brought the
World on your shoulders

And what's the worst I'd see

There's that subtle smile that did me in
