lyrics

Flesh and the hunt
Flesh and the hunt

Both the beginning and the end
Front and back from here to the bend
The smell of burning flesh, stench
As the wild fires spread

We're tracking a killer
That has no name
Hunting prey
We've already tamed

Remember the deal when it's time to pay up
No excuses will save you,
Will save you, will save you
From the hunt

I've sailed uncharted waters
Bartered with the daughters
Of the uncanny users
Of this fix

It's the biggest thrill
Since the first time they killed
The monsters inside the mouth
The monsters inside the head

You can't exercise these demons
They are a part of the meaning
We share a common bond
The need we have to understand our wrongs

Our flesh is our trap
Our flesh is our hubris
Our flesh is our love
And how we use it

The pursuit of happiness
Has a darker side
It's the place where our love goes
When it dies

An animal like you
Understands my needs
You enjoy that pursuit
But not the dark that it feeds

We can't have our cake and eat it too
The sacrifice is too much
I don't want to know the truth
I just want to know your touch

Flesh and the hunt
The flesh and the hunt
