about

This is the first track on the album and came out of persistent horrific nightmares where imagery was so strong it inspired Aminah to paint them to try to purge them. This track inspired the name of the record label, "Fox Hunt Records" and sets out the theatrical scene of the concept album of the commencement of the hunt in the forest, the darkness, the melancholy, the sleepless nights, and the haunt.

lyrics

When words fail, and
Images are all you see
The nightmares, the torment
The melancholy, {the lament} (x2)

Should’ve known better
I went hunting for you
Night hunting for you

Missed the sadness, the hurt
The nightmares, {my fox hunt} (x2)

You are my sleepless nights (x2)
Slow blurry torment
I dodged a bullet, they said
But I never got out alive
No, this cannot be alive

Been in a fox hole
Trying to smoke you out
The thought of you hanging over me
Falling like an hour glass guillotine
Cutting me off at every seam

I flat-lined a recovery
Gave up a 6 year sobriety
No camera, no box of light
Traps the darkness
Of my hunting fright

My red blood
In your green daggered eyes

You are my sleepless nights
Slow blurry torment
I dodged a bullet, they said
But I never got out alive
No, this cannot be alive
I can’t help but wonder
Was this your plan all along?
Was it your “happily ever after”
To kill me off? Do you wish me dead?
You never finish what you start

You are my sleepless nights (x2)
Slow blurry torment

The hurt, the nightmares
The fox hunt, my fox hunt
