Chase Is On

What sighing wakes me
Or is it just the wind outside
What's huddled at the door now
The wild and broken and decide
A hand
I can
But help myself

Didn't know where to start
To heal the scratches
Hiding mine
You're hanging on the breath of winter
And every single touch
Is closing in but given time
And trust
You're fair, bright and new tomorrow

Who did we deceive
Taken in
But never believe me
All I said is still true
Still you cannot take me with you

Would you wonder why they were so kind

You would show me how
Running nameless in the freezing light
You would leave me now
Sitting empty

So still as safe but growing strong
And wilder so who's dependent
I never wanted you here
I never want you to be gone
I fear
We're hanging on the breath of winter

Not that I believe we were so kind
The safety and deceit forever
Tame now or captive to this life
Could you guess you might do better

You might have died

Looking out and it seemed so long
Cruel enough but you were so injured
Hear the wind any you long to run
More than I believe to turn this tide

Once again the embers flicker
Once again my ward is gone
Once again the branches wither
Once again the trust undone
Again
The doors thrown open
Once again the lights are on
Once again the hunter hunted
And the chase is on
Once again you live by murder
Once again you die too young
Can you still deny your nature
Can you learn to be loved
