(Intro â slow, menacing, palm-muted chugs building tension)â¨(Low growl)â¨The hounds are comingâŚâ¨The hounds are blind⌠(Verse 1 â fast, thrashy riff)â¨The hounds are running heavy, the hounds are running blind!â¨Chasing straight-line stories they will never fucking find!â¨Deep inside the thicket where the shadows twist and bend,â¨A creature of the edges where the open spaces end!â¨He doesnât fight the branches, he wonât break the fucking wood,â¨He slips between the spaces where the rigid hunters stood! (Pre-Chorus â half-time, building)â¨Silent through the undergrowthâŚâ¨Ghost inside the thorns⌠(Chorus â massive, anthemic, gang-shout ready)â¨HEâS THE RABBIT IN THE BRIAR!â¨Surviving by his WITS!â¨Tricking out the pattern, where the puzzle fucking fits!â¨He uses every loophole, every angle, every snare!â¨You think youâve got him cornered ââ¨BUT THE RABBIT ISNâT THERE! He leads you down the side path, slipping softly out of sight!â¨Moving with a timing that is strange⌠but always right! (Verse 2 â even heavier, faster palm muting)â¨He wonât match you strength for strength, thatâs not the way heâs grown!â¨He twists the systemâs iron rules and makes them all his own!â¨Disrupts the scripted narratives the second they erupt!â¨Shatters all the pretty lies where easy answers corrupt!â¨A flash of white â a sudden turn â a leap into the dark!â¨He leaves a winding, looping trail without a single mark! (Chorus â even bigger)â¨HEâS THE RABBIT IN THE BRIAR!â¨Surviving by his WITS!â¨Tricking out the pattern, where the puzzle fucking fits!â¨He uses every loophole, every angle, every snare!â¨You think youâve got him cornered ââ¨BUT THE RABBIT ISNâT THERE! (Bridge â atmospheric, clean guitars into crushing drop)â¨Down into the burrow where the falling never endsâŚâ¨Until he hits the solid floor where reality defends!â¨Absurdity dissolves⌠the tangled roots pull tightâŚâ¨He builds his home inside the thornsâŚâ¨AND VANISHES FROM SIGHT! (Breakdown â slow, crushing, low-tuned chugs)â¨Born⌠and bred⌠in the briar!â¨Where the sharpest logic grows!â¨Heâs not tricking the personâŚâ¨HEâS TRICKING THE PATTERN!â¨Slipping the snare!â¨Look close at the thicket⌠(Final Chorus â full scream, huge)â¨THE RABBIT ISNâT THERE!â¨THE RABBIT ISNâT THERE!â¨THE RABBIT ISNâT THERE! (Outro â fading eerie leads over heavy riff)â¨Look close at the thicketâŚâ¨(whispered scream)â¨The rabbit⌠isnât thereâŚ
