Kyojin - Tennessee Lyrics

Slow down, little child, creatures roam the streets at night
They dig their talons deep into the flesh and it resists
I am hypnotized, eager mouthed and bloody eyed
Slowly as the fog rolls in, they see us through the mist
And I am a mess, but I must confess
At times I felt I needed more but later found I ended up with less

I don't understand, did you try to cry
And in the process make me change my mind again?
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night

Slow down, little one, you may now outrun the gun, but
Terror comes and finds you soon as you turn eighteen
I am mesmerizing, corralling and terrorizing
This is when he plays pretend and brings us to our feet

I don't understand, did you try to cry
And in the process make me change my mind again?
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night

I don't understand
Did you try to cry, and in the process make me change my mind again?
(Did you close your eyes, and miss the chance to watch me get all caught up in my lie?)
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night

I don't understand
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night
