Yard Act – Thrill of the Chase Lyrics

Thrill of the Chase – Yard Act Lyrics

I can't stand people

People who think they're good people

Get down off your high horse

All your intentions are evil

And you believe we're all equal

But put yourself on a pulpit

Culpable for the culling

You signed your name on the bullet

You're hateful

Smeared from the same stain as me

Your plates full

But you're wasteful, same as me

I never gambled on the habit of cеrtainty

It takes too long

When you know that you're nеver wrong

When I was just a boy

Life unravelled at my own pace

But the joy I found wasn't hanging around

Nothing normal remains, the thrill of the chase

Slow down, Jenny, it was never a race

Forever revving your engine and never settling the pace

If it's there's a who-who and when, and the why and the how

I'll let your tires down, baby, what you gonna do now?

When I was just a boy

Life unravelled at my own pace

But the joy I found wasn't hanging around

Watch you throw it away, the thrill of the chase

False enlightenment tightens its grip on my trip

Through the reeds of a mind that is constantly sick

Ask why I never wanted to change

I only wanted to confront what I considered the pain

And see the problem as a job lot, threatening offence to my ways

Erased by the end of the day

On the very same day I discovered it

Look at it, read a fucking book, they just covered it up because

The entirety of history is nothing but a fallacy

Hallowed ground having its doubts, nuke the family

You don't even know you were born, on the 4th floor

Wish I'd never opened my eyes to what's in front of me

Pay the piper

Don't follow me

Call the sniper, brand new policy

Anybody tryna get ahead of the colony

Gets a bullet in the head before they get an apology

When I was just a boy

Life unravelled at my own pace

But the joy I found wasn't hanging around

There was nothing to gain from the thrill of the chase

The chase is just a void

To keep us in our place

I want to go back to the joy that I found

The first time around

The first time around
