Hunter

[Verse 1]

These leaves lay shrill in the woods, calm

These trees stand still, tower up tall

Television static, change the channel to despair

This kid is on the run, slip into a nightmare

Suitin' up, gettin' ready for the hunt

Bloody bag overhead, evil Elmer Fudd

I got that lantern on my back, got the shells already packed

With a twelve gauged locked and loaded, I'm lookin' strapped

Traps are slapped all over the ground, it's happenin'

I'ma act fast, snatch 'em up while they'rе scramblin'

Manhandlin' vandals, I know they're panickin'

This man's random, my hands

Then turnеd them into mannequins (Ah-ah)

I set the table, you can see they're filled with happiness (Ah-ah)

Eyes hangin' out, glazed, they've got some damages (Ah-ah)

I'm keepin' one below, it's for companionship (Ah-ah)

She plays the music for the house and so it balances

[Chorus]

Huntin' 'em down in the wilderness

More alone than I've ever been

Hunter becomes hunted

Look down the barrel of a gun

You'll see I'm not the only one

[Verse 2]

Can you feel the air thicken up with dread?

Drain the blood, skin them clean, off with the head

Package 'em, bag 'em, then start hangin' them up

Or posin' them however 'cause their bones are broken enough

I'm poppin' off shots, anger, it flows to the top

Feels like if Ed Gein chainsawed off all of my thoughts

I'm an obsessive slob, but oppressed is somethin' I'm not

I've only got a single mood and it's hungry for blood

How dare this kid come into my hellish home

Thinkin' he could steal that girl and that I wouldn't know

I see everything, I'm the beast from the woods

I'm the scariest creature, an evil misunderstood

When the light beams through the tall grass

Hold your breath 'cause I promise that it won't last

If I hear even a peep, trigger pulls fast

Paint your brains up on the walls with a swift blast, blast, blast

[Chorus]

Huntin' 'em down in the wilderness

More alone than I've ever been

Hunter becomes hunted (Yeah)

(Ah-ah-ah) Look down the barrel of a gun

You'll see I'm not the only one

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]

(You'll see I'm not the only one)

[Chorus]

Huntin' 'em down in the wilderness

More alone than I've ever been (Yeah)

Hunter becomes hunted (Yeah)

(Ah-ah-ah) Look down the barrel of a gun

You'll see I'm not the only one

[Outro]

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

You'll see I'm not the only one

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-ah)

You'll see I'm not the only one
