Dear Hunter, The - The Lake & The River Lyrics
Everything you'd live and die for
Reasons leading you through here
Perished matriarchal bonds
Failing innocence of love
When the world beckons your approach
You'll believe what you're led to believe
In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
Pray'd I would leave this place someday
Joined to alarm from long ago now unconcerned
Euphorically floating upon wax wings where is the sun?
I still see her face; her beauty, her grace
It follows my soul
And swallows me whole
You'll believe what you're led to believe
In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
Left, right, left, right...
His branches reached so far before
His leaves were bold extremities with great control
Wasted along; he died alone
You'll believe what you're led to believe
In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
She's inanimate, bloodless elegance
Fatal fascination breeds a bloom of misery
Helpless hiding tongues, bathed in revulsion
Here lies possibility wilting premature
But the right hand hates the left and the sea's upset with the sky
So we press on in spite of the spite
Happiness is a knife when the worlds on its side and your minds on fire
Trying to find the trouble with the trouble I've found
Begging my god to make the wheels go round
Eat so much but I never get full
Earth opened up and swallowed us whole

Everything you'd live and die for

Perished matriarchal bonds, failing innocence of love
When the world beckons your approach, it swallows you whole
You'll believe what you're meant to believe
In the hands of ghosts, we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
Prayed I would leave this place someday
Joined to alarm from long ago, now unconcerned
Euphorically floating upon wax wings, where is the sun?
I still see her face; her beauty, her grace
Transfixed like a light in front of me
It follows my soul, and swallows me whole
You'll believe what you're led to believe
In the hands of ghosts, we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
Left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right

Here lies possibility, wilting prematurely
But the right hand hates the left
And the sea's upset with the sky
So we press on, press on, press on, press on
In spite of the spite
Happiness is a knife
When the world rolls on its side
And your mind's on fire
Don’t you know that happiness is a knife
When the world’s on fire
Trying to find the trouble with the trouble I've found
Begging my god to make the wheels go round
Eat so much but I never get full
Earth opened up and swallowed us whole

I love you Casey✨❤
This album is gold and is super underrated. The story telling alone, I mean...
the chorus is glorious
2017 and this song still hits the feelings.
Brandon Moreno It's 2018 for me, and I couldn't agree more
Are you the UFC fighter?
It's freaking amazing to see literally every comment be positive. THIS SONG IS SO GOOD!
This song is where I got hooked to the story. I didn't really notice the whole story he had been building up until this point.
The intro reminds me of elevator music or a game show. lol
I keep hearing "Left leg, Left leg" 3:06
Wait is that not legitimately the lyric.
@Nathan Barney according to the lyrics posted to the chords for this song, it's Left right, Left right
Best song on the album
I feel like this song would be an awesome James Bond intro...
Anyway, it's just super fucking good...
This song should get a price for the best intro ...
and outro
well... you got act 3 n 4
yeah definitely. Nice profile pic btw
And best outro
honeslty act IV is my fav but the way Act V opens just hits me in the face with finesion
teeemooon!!! muy bueno...
Al fin,un fan que hable español :'v
it follows my soul and swallows me whole.
Ugh so many good songs. I've never had so many favorites from a single person. Ever.
Ugh so many good songs. I've never had so many favorites from a single person. Ever.
Explore the spectrum.
I DON'T KNOW! JUST KEEP ON DOING IT!
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO EXPRESS THESE FEELS!
You sir, are a rare breed.
LOUD NOISES!
YELL LOUDER, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
You're such a fairy.
You're such an idiot.
I EAT SO MUCH AND I NEVER GET FULL!!!!! This song rules!
Ha, fuckin kids. :D Read your comment in 10 years, jerk off.
mikeythebox so, what do you think about your comment after 4 years have passed?
@Maryla 5*
Thank you for expressing your individuality. I respect it, and will not argue with you (because I can't think of a snarky come-back).
Only jerk offs use "unto others". Now thats mature. Jerk off.
I think that was one of the most mature YouTube comments I've ever read.
This songs awesome!
FUCK BELIEBERS AND FUCK DIRECTIONERS I DON'T CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS IM A FUCKING DEAR HUNTIONER!!!!!!
YOU FORGOT A FUCK
Ha ha ha talentful... you directioners and your limited grasp of nearly everything, one day you'll be big boys and girls and instead of saying "...& I love the dear hunter" you'll just say "i love the dear hunter!"
Ah yes bc people can't like more than one band/musician
The beginning of this song sounds like Spyro The Dragon music.
Easily one of my favorite songs!!!
I personally have never paid any attention to one direction but I don't like anything I've heard. I respect people for what they like, even if I think I have better taste, but I think everyone feels like that. I guess that's what individuality means. People on Youtube are very expressive of their individuality (and willing to oppress unto others said individuality).
BECAUSE IT'S FUN :D
@abbyangel64 I'm not hating, I just have a different view of talent than you do.
I just shit myself 6:15
This is the best song off all their albums. GNARRRRRLLLYY
i like turdles!
Some people don't know true talent (Justin Bieber and One Direction fans.) But luckily, I do. Therefore I shall continually listen to Casey's beautiful voice until I die. I can never thank his cousin Luke enough for showing me this orgasmic music.
Great song!
THAT WAS OK
At first I was was all upset that The Receiving End of Sirens was gonna be at Bamboozle on the day I'm going, but then I realized The Dear Hunter was. So I gave them a long-overdue listen. And realized that this s just as good. :3
This is my favorite part: 7:58 to 9:30.
THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAA!
I like cake with poppy seeds!!
I LIKE PIE
STOP YELLING
@grantmandu IDK BUT IM YELLING TOO
@crazychris93 WHY ARE WE ALL YELLING
EPIC FUCKING SONG.
