The Dear Hunter - Middle Ground Lyrics

I've been called to testify.
A hired gun who could abandon
All of these fools who tried to sermonize
That my misery is measured
Scored with a system
A cold and callous case of a calculated lie.

But in place of pain or praise,
Just leave me to the same mistakes
I've always made. I'll always make.
I don't want love, but I don't need hate,
Just a simple middle of the road
To keep my bearings straight.

I screamed on my soapbox for
The murder of hurt.
And I slaved for years just to be heard
Above the mess of masses and droning tones
But I concede reality is
Than I'd hoped.

Just leave me to the same mistakes
I've always made. I'll always make.
I don't want love, but I don't need hate,
Just a simple middle of the road
To keep me on the true and narrow
No noise, I'm better poised to
Keep my bearings straight.

I don't care if you believe me.
I'm still here, but I've completely
Lost myself inside myself again.

Leave me to the same mistakes
I've always made. I'll always make.
I don't want love, but I don't need hate,
Just a simple middle of the road
To keep me on the true and narrow
No noise, I'm better poised to
Keep my bearings straight.
