The Archer

[Verse 1]

Combat, I'm ready for combat

I say I don't want that, but what if I do?

'Cause cruelty wins in the movies

I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you

[Pre-Chorus]

Easy they come, easy they go

I jump from the train, I ride off alone

I never grew up, it's getting so old

Help me hold on to you

[Chorus]

I've been the archer, I've been the prey

Who could ever leave me, darling

But who could stay?

[Verse 2]

Dark side, I search for your dark side

But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?

And I cut off my nose just to spite my face

Then I hate my reflection for years and years

[Pre-Chorus]

I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost

The room is on fire, invisible smoke

And all of my heroes die all alone

Help me hold on to you

[Chorus]

I've been the archer, I've been the prey

Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling

But who could stay?

(I see right through me, I see right through me)

[Bridge]

'Cause they see right through me

They see right through me

They see right through

Can you see right through me?

They see right through

They see right through me

I see right through me

I see right through me

[Pre-Chorus]

All the king's horses, all the king's men

Couldn't put me together again

'Cause all of my enemies started out friends

Help me hold on to you

[Chorus]

I've been the archer, I've been the prey

Who could ever leave me, darling

But who could stay?

(I see right through me, I see right through me)

Who could stay?

Who could stay?

Who could stay?

You could stay

You could stay

[Outro]

Combat, I'm ready for combat
