lyrics

You watched me so close
Like a hawk chasing a rabbit
I hadn’t a clue
Digging up holes, eating carrots

You plucked me away
Before I knew, I was flying
Then you tore out my heart
To feed your own, slowly dying

I’d waited so long
For a lift from this state, so dejected
Life on the ground
Where it’s safe and it’s sound
Was never the life I expected

Then you came around
For moments, I thought I could
Touch the sky
Then the lights all went out
And I fell from your grasp, so high

Hope you had your fill
You left me for dead, torn to pieces
I wither away as my body decays
And my tiny little soul it releases

And rabbits get eaten by hawks
But for every hawk, there’s a hunter
We each have to pay
In our own separate ways
For our time in the sun we live under
