Scavenger

I tied the slipknot carefully
Checked no one was watching, as I covered it in leaves
Laying traps, for the things I thought I'd need
What I needed was the catch that's been released

Tripwires taught, triggered, anticipate the catch
Daylight fading, it's time to light the nights first match
From the dark, a fleeting spark, now I can see
That when you left so did this land of plenty

So call me a scavenger if you must, I've grown too hungry to ignore your scraps
I lack the bloodlust but I wish I was a hunter
I can find but I can't follow your tracks
Alone, surviving in this wilderness, I'm looking for a place to call my own
Alone, Darling won't you lead me home

Camouflaged, I cast myself aside disguise the failure of my making
Hand in mine, pull me in close
Tongue untied I can finally describe the fear that's on this path we're taking
Hand in mine I don't want to let go

So call me a scavenger if you must, I've grown too hungry to ignore your scraps
I lack the bloodlust but I wish I was a hunter
I can find but I can't follow your tracks
Alone, surviving in this wilderness, I'm looking for a place to call my own
Alone, Darling won't you lead me home
