Empathetic Hunter

I've been holding out for so long
unsure of what is right and wrong
to suppress or to confess
the impulses we all possess

We couldn't face ourselves alone
so we let ourselves be shown
into the depths of our unknowns
we were recklessly thrown

Sweet and tender charm
turned into alarm
protecting you from harm
it was I who drowned those eyes
another goodbye
inescapable cries
I feel it too looking at you
I have been there too
Like the empathetic hunter who starves
your pain in me is carved

I was holding you for so long
I can still feel you in my arms
I can still hear your long sighs
Your dreams all tangled up with mine

Desire made us feel so alive
like sad angels torn from the sky
Now I'm afraid to want afraid to need
of hurting the one apart of me

Sweet and tender charm
turned into alarm
protecting you from harm
it was I who drowned those eyes
another goodbye
inescapable cries
I feel it too looking at you
I have been there too
You must forget me soon
or I will ruin
you got to let someone new in
Like the empathetic hunter who starves
your pain in me is carved
