I Never Went Hunting

I am the serpent in your atmosphere
Presenting teeth to make holes in your skin
You walk with giants over this town
Blind to forecasts or what lies within
Caught off guard by the colours and scents
Fake a smile, I could show you the world
Ever proud that you’d succumb to my charm
Said the catch to the eager remains
The perfect frame that I know that you are
Hates everything you assume that I am
Take the man I’ll never be
Make him proud, set him free
Hold his eyes tight in your hands
Keep him from the best laid of your plans
Watch him writhe on the floor
As you make your last score
Misdirected by the stories they’ve heard
A clash of words with experiences
A throw away look becomes that
Sense of abandonment
(I fail to see how you could be so naive
No balance when you walk in these shoes
Clear as day is the joke of this dance
Twisted toes burst the seams open wide)
I fall down, you’re broken
(Chorus)
I fall down and now you’re broken
This place is no longer your home
Brace for this crash, it will hit you
That you don’t need me, you don’t need me
(Chorus)
(Repeat chorus w/last line)
As you head for the door

I feel the poison coursing through my veins
With every shallow mark that you make
You think I’m weightless, floating over these coals
But I feel every step that I take
Concede that you are as good as they come
Minor glimpses in heavy supply
See the wishes that get left behind
Casting shadows in every right place
The perfect frame that I know that you are
Is jealous of that which you already have
Open eyes, accept the truth
See what’s right in front of you
Best described as a mess with no trace
Blessing minds with a comfort and grace
Keep apart all the ends
Nothing left to defend
I fall down, you’re broken

Our Nameless Boy Bristol, UK
Our Nameless Boy are a Bristol based alt-rock band signed to Beth Shalom Records. Inspired by the
emotionally
charged, quiet/loud and sometimes frenetic dynamics of the late ‘90s/‘00s US alternative scene,
ONB bring their own brand of raucous energy to their performances, with songs that are hard hitting and
subtle in their intricacies.
