Bloodlust

[Verse 1] Robert looked down slow At the pulse rifle in his hands Cold shiver on his spine Like a wound that never healed It had been years Since he held that weight That last time in his hands decisions made, fates sealed He looked up at Hunter Gave an uneasy smile "This feels too familiar, after all this while" "I thought I stood alone Between the dark and home Whoever I was with I was still on my own" [Chorus] Tried to put it behind me, but bloodlust knows my name, Sanity's fleeting in the midst of attack and Once you have sent it you can't call it back. [Verse 2][Female Voice] “First one I ever fired,” She said, looking straight “So far we haven’t needed them That’s the honest shape” [Male Voice] Robert said, “These guys” “Are they rescue, or a scheme?” [Female Voice] She just laughed and said “We haul stuff in between” “Get it where it needs to go Through the hard-to-pass” “Sometimes blocked by someone So we slip right past” [Pre-Chorus] So we’re smugglers, then Blunt and plain She just smiled at him Like she’d heard that name “People too,” she said “Out of harm’s way” Five runs since I joined Fifty souls saved to date [Chorus] Tried to put it behind me, but bloodlust knows my name, Sanity's fleeting in the midst of attack and Once you have sent it you can't call it back. [Bridge] He turned it in his hands Like a memory with teeth Every scar had a story Every silence had a reach Maybe rescue looks like steel When the road turns mean Maybe mercy wears a case And rides between the seams [Final Chorus][Male Voice] Tried to put it behind me, (It's only a Tool) but bloodlust knows my name, (No, you don't forget the flame) Sanity's fleeting in the midst of attack (The Weapon feels oh so natural) and Once you have sent it you can't call it back. (It still knows my name)
