hungry lights - hydra lyrics

fed us doubt just to see us cower

trouble comes in pairs
i could’ve heed this warning,
but i was busy removing the head of a hydra
-dead to rights was it

was there anything you could’ve said
to provoke a good response?
‘cause now i’m in dismay
and i know we’re all in danger,
and i know we’re all afraid,
but the promised lands’ worth it in the end

i hack further into my feelings
i slice closer to the source
problems sprout like little seedlings
-take one out, then birth two more

i couldn’t make this up
i was after anything thing to show i’m brave
i am stuck in a jungle of avarice
-kept me hungry
-kept me a slave
i only did more action ‘cause my words never found their home
i tried to tell myself there was hope and no more misery
ah—that was the end of me…
ever since that day i’ve self-destructed
i’m the enemy
i’ve made my peace with that,
and it’s okay
we don’t survive and get to walk away without a scratch
no, trouble comes in pairs!
and it comes in starving,
comes in violent,
comes in snarling,
comes in angry and greedy
no one can make it stop
i fear we’ve neared the end of the rope
i couldn’t make this up!
i was after anything to give me strength,
and i interpret that as virtue
i interpret that as justice and good deeds,
but you know that i know it’s over

don’t you know i know!
that’s why you jab at me with prejudice,
and i keep being more and more discreet
convinced that i can change the outcome
i flounder as i’m cutting
and cutting and cutting and cutting the heads
-wild and rampant!
we can’t stop it!
no, trouble’s always coming
and coming and coming and coming in pairs,
but it took that doubt to make me cower
