this glass embrace - hunters lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the air is cold, along the windows and the walls
when i breathe in, it tastes like summer
but i’m exhaling bursts of snow
i cut the pictures from their frames so i could see
what they would look like bare and empty
as unremarkable as me

[pre-chorus 1]
i am afraid, a campfire horror story fear
if i said your name into a mirror thirteen times, would you appear?

[chorus]
there are thoughts you have to turn away from quickly
and pretend you didn’t see
avert your eyes and keep on breathing
there are reasons that you lie awake at night
things you ignore just to survive
and this is one of them
the lies you tell to keep yourself alive

[verse 2]
i’ve spent a lifetime mapping continents and seas
the charcoal lines of clean divisions
the fences and the ground between
what if this sentence spells the end of all we know?
the wind will rearrange the pages
and scatter everything we wrote

[pre-chorus 2]
this is a hunter’s arrow shot through flesh and bone
it would destroy more to remove it than to just leave it alone

[chorus]
there are thoughts you have to turn away from quickly
and pretend you didn’t see
avert your eyes and keep on breathing
there are reasons that you lie awake at night
things you ignore just to survive
and this is one of them
the lies you tell to keep yourself alive

[bridge]
what i can give you, i will give
take all you need
you could take everything
what i can give you, i will give
take all you need
you could take everything

this is all i have to offer
weary eyes and careful hands
a voice that shakes when i am singing
a heart that’s full of selfish plans
this is all i have to offer
though i will offer all the same
a love i hope will be sufficient
a promise i promise to make

[chorus]
there are thoughts you have to turn away from quickly
and pretend you didn’t see
avert your eyes and keep on breathing
there are reasons that you lie awake at night
things you ignore just to survive
and this is one of them
the lies you tell to keep yourself alive

[bridge]
this is all i have to offer
weary eyes and careful hands
a voice that shakes when i am singing
a heart that’s full of selfish plans
this is all i have to offer
though i will offer all the same
a love i hope will be sufficient
a promise i promise to make
