The Hound

Ah, oh

I am but one of many
Who tread on hollow ground
Slipping through the cracks again
A bloodthirsty hound

God knows I'm not one for this world
A far cry from where we came
Yet I still scratch the itch just the same

Slither in the tall grass
Your true colors on display
I will cut you out even if it kills me

Why did I
Why did I let you in
Why did I let
Let you in

I can't escape
From the choice I made
Choice I made
The vision fades
The vision, the vision
Was this all a mistake
Goddamn mistake

I am a juggernaut and I
I cannot be stopped
Keep on trying man
You're almost there

But your effort is useless
How foolish of you to think you could do this
Without me you will crumble to your knees

Surrender, surrender
You'll never be more than a pretender
Dissenter, dissenter
No fucking moral center

Why did I
Why did I let you in
Why did I let
Let you in

I can't escape
From the choice I made
Choice I made
The vision fades
The vision, the vision
Was this all a mistake
Goddamn mistake

You're the poison coursing through my veins

I thought I burned it all down
But I'm still choking on the smoke
To live a life so feral
To live a life so cold

I'm afraid of just how low I can sink
This venom runs deeper than you think

I must satisfy this primal need
Deep inside, I need to feed

With every last breath I draw closer to
My gods converged in union
Why did I let
Let you in

I can't escape
From the choice I made
Choice I made
The vision fades
The vision, the vision
Was this all a mistake
Goddamn mistake

This venom runs
Runs deeper than you know

I am but one of many
Who tread on hollow ground
Slipping through the cracks again
A bloodthirsty hound
