Hunting Season

This can’t be happening
My life flashed before my eyes, my eyes
You move in for the kill, but here I am still standing

Knives to the back only go skin deep
So when you finish the job, make sure you go for the heart
Sticks and stones may bring me to my knees
So when you finish the job, you’ll have to rip me apart

You gave the attention, that I have always needed
I’ll gather my dignity and try to leave, but you always keep coming back

We were so close, but got lost in the starlight
Now I’m caught like a deer, in your car headlights

You cut me deep, stole my crown
Looked so proud as I hit the ground
Now I’m watching the black butterflies, as my eyes turn cold

Knives to the back only go skin deep
So when you finish the job, make sure you go for the heart
Sticks and stones may bring me to my knees
So when you finish the job, you’ll have to rip me apart

I’ll give you all my words
For all your thoughts

This can’t be happening, my life flashed before my eyes
You move in for the kill but here I am still standing
