For years, we have been gathering
All we could find, oh
It wasn't always much
But it's enough to survive, oh

But you still have a hunger
Growing wilder all the time
So you learn from another
How to shoot an arrow
How to hide in the daylight

Now you
You go out hunting
You feast in the night, oh

You return in the morning
I smell the smoke on your hair
I see the blood-stained fingernails
Soon relief returns to hunger

You bring me only pieces
I'm getting weaker
If you would just release me
I can learn to shoot an arrow
How to hide in the daylight

Now you
You go out longer
A day, another night

You keep coming back stronger
I can hear the change in your voice
I can see the paint on your face

The one I used to know has left without a trace
But I still have a hunger
Growing wilder all the time

When you return, you'll find you've been left behind
I'll be shooting arrows
And hiding in the daylight
