Prey

All of the things that I wanted All of the things that I thought I wanted Are flying away Like a cloud of bugs And I'm not sure how I feel Come back, come back I plead, I beg But they never will And I know it My pulse quickens, my blood surges And I know that I'll never be the same I'm scared but brave I am cold but moving The branches are slapping my face I can smell the thing, I can almost taste it I'll catch it or die where I stand Bright are the fires of the conquering hunters I exult, I'm victorious, I'm free Cuz the creature spinning on the spit is familiar The creature on the spit is me I'm awake, I'm awake This has happened before But it's new every time that I'm here What I thought was a circle all my life Was only one side of a sphere Shed or shred or slough Same but new and raw Slick and fresh and clean Wide awake and dreaming Wide awake i dream And you and you and you
