Lyrics Blood - The Dear Hunter

Blood

Silence slights spirits of those gone to the night
But what was the cost, do I justify the loss?
When a loss of control would be digging myself a hole
It couldn’t be worth it
I’m a killer
I’m a killer
I’m a killer
But I’ve been killing myself all along
Had I done my best to protect innocence?
Or did I lead the wolf to the fawn?
Watch your words
Keep them from bothering the herd
Provoking the stones
That they all can throw
No I won’t carry on
Living this life that I stole
It just isn’t worth it
I’m a killer
I’m a killer
I’m a killer
But I’ve been killing myself all along
Divining the right from the wrong
Had I done my best to protect innocence?
Or was something more wicked in store?
Is there villainy, inside of me?
In search of worth, have I burnt the Earth?
There’s no passion in being passive
And no inaction can bring an answer
So for you,
I am a killer!
