The Hunter

You came in like a storm: ravenous, thunderous. When you grabbed me by the throat I just fell under your spell. The chant was deafening, and the air heavily scented with desire. And I renounced my name, gave it all away and stepped into the fire for a lie. Breaking, I’m breaking your curse. Your reign ends here, I will not stumble. Breaking, I’m breaking cuz I know if you were here my walls would crumble. You’re a master of disguise, devious, treacherous. All you crave for is a prize to behold and call your own. I’m gathering my strength, and my eyes are slowly adjusting to the dark. There are no secrets left, I can finally see who you truly are, what you are. Breaking, I’m breaking your curse. Your reign ends here, I will not stumble. Breaking, I’m breaking cuz I know if you were here my walls would crumble. I don’t blame you but my loneliness… I believed everything you said, every word and every lie. It’s a tale as old as time. Over and over we played your game, you were the hunter and I your prey. It’s the chase, it keeps you alive… It’s a tale as old as time. Breaking, I’m breaking your curse. Your reign ends here, I will not stumble. Breaking, I’m breaking cuz I know if you were here my walls would crumble.
