Bloodhound (Acoustic) Lyrics

When you hold me

Like a baby

And you stare into my eyes

Into my soul

When you hold me

When you're near me

Like a siren in the night

You've got me running to the light

When you hold me

When you're angry

I feel terrified

As your grip gets tight

And you drink

You drink to see the day through

Well honey what am I to you

If not something to come home to

And you scream

You scream to put me down

Soon I won't be around and I'm afraid of it

And you smell it like a bloodhound

When you speak

I see your spit fly

I scratch your vocal fry

But still, I don't hear you

When you kissed me

For the first time

Said you missed me

All of your life

When I break

And finally, you hunt the prey

Don't pray, don't throw the flowers away

I can rot without assistance

And I'll scream

I'll scream next time you hold me

For I've never felt so lonely

As when I'm lying in your arms

And we scream

But you always win, you get the crown

My king, your tears, they make me drown

Guess that's why I'm the deer and you're the bloodhound
