Lyrics:
I've been misplaced in so many ways
Broken battlegrounds, hiding veils of delicate deceit
Yet here I breathe
Teeth still gleam from holy water
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet
And voices sing:

"Were we erased like common thieves?
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
All because we never had written a word."

What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will i know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will I know when the morning comes?

Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
Would we arrive at agreeable musings
Sentimental or just confusing
We lost what we had but we took it back
Friends in the gutter, enjoy one another
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand

What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will i know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will I know when the morning comes?

I'm not who you think I am
And even if I thought you'd known
I never would have told you so
And more alarming
I would have done the very same
Would have stole more than your name
Would have cursed and bought the world on your shoulders
I was in the wrong place
At the right time

And what's the worst I'd see
By giving myself to the earth below me
Not knowing how far I'd fall, by casting away the ordinary
Just how long can I stay in illusions formed here long before me?
And how long can I breathe this stolen breath here underneath?

There's that subtle smile that did me in
She moves...
An agony reminds where I've been
She breathes
"I'd never let this happen again."

Where's your heart?
Mimicking the patriarch

She's naive...

[skylarl]

It is a damn shame that this band isn't more well known. I've said for a while that The Dear Hunter is one of the most slept on bands of all time, and I stick to that.There is so much passion and talent in this music. I know a lot of people who would dig them, but it just seems like no one has ever heard of them. It's a weird thing.

[WorldofIntenseArtie]

This was such a blast to work with TDH. This entire album was beautifully arranged and I got to play it. yas

[poopoogigolo]

Well, that was probably the coolest lyric video I've ever seen...

[RainingBluebellEmphenia]

THAT LITTLE PIANO REPRISE OF MUSTARD GAS AT THE END WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Casey should honestly release a full version of that, it would be lovely

[biltrex]

I feel so sad that I've been deprived of The Dear Hunter until now, but overjoyed that I found them at last.

[simonb.]

Besides the fact that this is one of the best TDH songs ever, kudos to whoever made this lyric video.

[sevina]

"There's that subtle smile that did me in...
...She moves."

"...An agony reminds where I've been..."
"...She breathes..."

"I'll never let this happen again..."

"Where's your heart?
Mimicking the patriarch.
She's naive..."

no amount of callbacks by any band i can think of would ever beat this.

[Tristriam]

That last reprise of act 2 gave me hardcore chills

[kakamaru]

The musical reprise in the middle just makes me wanna get up and dance.

[bugcurserecords]

God fucking damn that shit is beautiful

[runvaggos]

4:40 to 6:05 is just pure musical joy 🤯

[BowserSpaceLaser]

it is my absolute favorite thing in the world when bands have musical themes that cross albums like this. this band will never not bop.

[kaitlindoesarts]

I have got to stop listening to The Dear Hunter songs for my first time when my family is home because I am incapable of reacting in a normal manner to them. I mean— can you blame me?? That reprise of The Bitter Suite I is HAUNTING.

[kyleweeksy]

This deserves 100x the amount of views it has

[Mooseplatoon]

The reprise of Bitter Suite I is one the best parts of the album, which is saying a lot as it's consistently fantastic. It neatly reintroduces Ms. Leading while highlighting that Hunter has become the sort of deceitful person he rejected her for being in the first place. First she took advantage of his ignorance, now he in turn is taking advantage of The Lover.

[joshrobledo]

Yes! I remember listening to Act II for the first time before they were signed to Equal Vision and wondering "Why aren't musicians like THESE guys big?" And now everyone will see. They'll all see.

[grimdivine]

I love the album artwork. The music really goes well with it. There needs to be s short animation film with The Dear Hunter doing the score.

[ParityS]

Casey writes the story, lyrics, music, and he makes these videos? Holy shit dude

[monique_angele]

This band has some of the best music I've heard in a while. So creative and inspiring artistry. Amazing music!

[amalene]

Wow just imagine if all of the acts were animated together like this...
