Producer Joe Barresi heard the songs the band had written for La Gargola and told them three of them “need work”. Ultimately, those tracks were abandoned and new ones were written in their place. Drummer Sam Loeffler called the newer ones “the darker songs on the record”.
“Hunter Eats Hunter” is on...
I grabbed a flashlight
Just like I always do
A damp sorta night
And now I'm telling you
Well I saw a pair of eyes
And I'm sure they saw me, too
Don't never never run
Hell yes I'm going to
[Chorus]
How long, should I feel like bait now?
Wide open, careful where the mind goes
Moonlight, a superstitious glow
If it's my time, well I'm going out alone
You ever tried to hold your breath?
Well here's a tip, don't follow through
Ya feared the nightmares never end
And now it seems it's coming true
No one should see what I can see
It's up to you with weakened knees
That little creep just grabbed my arm
It's gonna be the longest night
[Chorus]
How long should I feel like bait now?
Wide open, careful where the mind goes
Moonlight, a superstitious glow
If it's my time, well I'm going out alone
Alone, alone, alone
Night, you're a friend of mine, another family
Better not divide, any, armed with its beastly doom
I'll beat this jackal down, this interference ends
I'll send it back beyond
When hunter. Meets. Hunter...
This hunter. Eats. Hunter
Mmm mm mm mm mm mm m-
When hunter, meets hunter, this hunter, eats hunter
[Chorus]
How long should I feel like bait now?
Wide open, careful where the mind goes
Moonlight, a superstitious glow
If it's my time, well I'm going out alone
If it's my time
Well I'm going out alone
If it's my time
Well I'm going out alone
If it's my time
I'm going out alone
