about

This was the first released track of the album. The theme of the "duality" and the hunter and hunted are featured here and come up again in tracks like Daddy's Girl and is thematically interwoven throughout the album.

lyrics

These days
I’m spending lots of time alone
Having nightmares
Within dreams

Dream of you
Protecting me from the world
Nightmare of you
Destroying what you saved behind closed doors

If I end it now
Do you worry
Your hands would be bloody?

Because you’re so incredibly lonely
But can’t get close

Sometimes I need to pull away
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I mean, really how much blood could you stomach
Before you push me away?
I’m sorry

But I’m too afraid to say it
So afraid it could be true
That you’ll never really love me no matter what I do
If you can’t now
Will you never?
Does it mean you never will?

Why is it that you protect me
From the world
Just to destroy me behind closed doors?
Is it because you’re so incredibly lonely
But can’t get close?
Is that why you destroy me?
Is this why you protect me?

If I end it now
Would you worry
Your hands would be bloody?

Is this how you protect me?
