Creature

What about the bodies, in the basement, in the attic
Did the stench not make you sick?
What about the bloodstains, in the bathroom, in the kitchen
What do you think left them?
How about the late nights, that I went out and didn't return
Where could I have been?
How about the drinking, that I do know, on the daily
Trying to keep him locked within.
Now that I've become
Someone you don't know
Can you love the creature
That's been lurking in my soul.
Maybe that old tried and tested cliché’s true.
And love is really blind.
Did you look into the box, I told you not to
With inquisitive little eyes.
If you did you would have saw, all of my work there
Neatly packed inside.
Did you recoil back in horror, and stifle vomit
Cause your intuitions right.
Now that I've become
Someone you don't know
Can you love the creature
That's been lurking in my soul.

Yucky

I've been watching you all night from across the room
You radiate such magnetisation it drew me to you.
It'd be an honour if you took my hand
And dance while the band plays Etta James 'At Last'.
You wanna know why suddenly I am so distant
I'm not afraid of love I'm afraid of myself.
The last time I wanted someone like I want you
I held them so tight their whole body turned blue.
You got your claws in me, dig 'em deeper please
This façade that seems so nice is really yucky deep inside.
Put your lovely head, in my jaws death
I bite down on your jugular until the yuckiness just spurts.
Your face is so perfect to my eyes
Makes me wonder if your insides would taste half as nice.
I see the terror slowly dawn on you in disbelief
But by the time I kill you the pain will be a sweet release.
You got your claws in me, dig 'em deeper please
This façade that seems so nice is really yucky deep inside.
Put your lovely head, in my jaws death
I bite down on your jugular until the yuckiness just spurts.

Just Meat To Me
03:07

You looked into my eyes, I looked into your eyes, I looked into your soul.
All that I saw, was something so pure, for me to defile.
You picked up my hand, and I picked up your hand, and our skin met.
All tender and soft, right under my thumb, untouched by filth.
You started to speak, and I started to speak, then we fell silent.
If only you'd said, what I'd thought you would say, you'd be OK.
You went in for a kiss, I went in for a kiss, but our teeth bumped.
The first sign to stay away.
Your heart could bleed a river and that river could run long
But you're just meat to me, just meat to me.
Your soul could shine and glitter and obliterate someone
But you're just meat to me, just meat to me.
I told you that this, would be dead in the water, before it began.
But you said, don't be so negative, to me.
The history I have, that's not been documented, is sordid and sick.
And I can tell you're not the type to deal with it.
How many more times, do I just have to tell you, to walk away.
You're not the first and surely will not be the last.
Your life would be better, if you just forgot, that we ever met.
You can't un-forget your past.
Your heart could bleed a river and that river could run long
But you're just meat to me, just meat to me.
Your soul could shine and glitter and obliterate someone
But you're just meat to me, just meat to me.
This person who's talking, is not the same person, who you will love.
Your light grows dim, with every word you stutter and speak.
Months down the line, you'll be dying inside, if you make it that far.
The things I do distinctly lack in self control.
Run while you can, with your innocent youth, and don't waste your time.
Before I do, something that I, wont even regret.
As much as it hurts, it wont hurt half as much, in the long run.
You'll be the one that got away.
Your heart could bleed a river and that river could run long
But you're just meat to me, just meat to me.
Your soul could shine and glitter and obliterate someone
But you're just meat to me, just meat to me.

Lab Rat

Put me on my back until I feel the cold, press against my skin.
The sterileness of this alone is enough to make me, solidify inside.
This book you're struggling to read is more than sealed shut, it's burnt down into ash.
And the only person in this world who knows the contents, is underneath your knife.
I'm your lab rat, you're my baby
Medicate me, medicate me.
Vivisect me, come on stab that
You're my baby, I'm your lab rat.
It seems that your intrusive curiosity, has got the best of you.
I promise nothing good will come with knowledge gained, if you continue to pursue.
Take that brand new scalpel blade within you hand, and open me up wide.
Put your head inside my guts and look around at, my interchangeable insides.
I'm your lab rat, you're my baby
Medicate me, medicate me.
Vivisect me, come on stab that
You're my baby, I'm your lab rat.
I'm your lab rat, you're my baby
Medicate me, medicate me.
Vivisect me, come on stab that
You're my baby, I'm your lab rat.
