When you leave me out in the crowd
It keeps me up through the night
All the way through the night

No one stands in my corner
With my back to the ropes
Cut my brow and I’ll know

That I don’t really want to know the world
And I don’t really see the point in change
I’ve been, I’ve been
I’ve been this bloodthirsty hound

And I don’t really want to talk tonight
No, I don’t really want to have to fight
I’ve been, I’ve been
I’ve been this bloodthirsty hound

But I won't be the same to you girl
No, I won’t be the man that’s cut down by this world
No, I won’t be the same to you girl
No, I won’t be the man that I was
Unfurled in a field, in a field

When it feels like I'm still a boy
I am viewed as a child
I am meek and I'm wild

I’ll write peering out my window
You surround me with blood
All I really want is love

I don’t really want to be alone
I don’t think I’ll ever write the same
I’ve been, I’ve been
I’ve been this bloodthirsty hound

I don’t really want to build a life
But I don’t really want to feel the bite
I’ve been, I’ve been
I’ve been this cold-blooded hound

But I won't be the same to you girl
No, I won’t be the man that's cut down by this world
No, I won’t be the same to you girl
No, I won’t be the man that I was
Unfurled in a field, in a field
In a field, in a field

Cause I’ve been haunted
And I don’t want to be
I’ve been, I’ve been
I’ve been this bloodthirsty hound

I should’ve known better
But now I'm not me
I can’t
I can not be this bloodthirsty hound
