host
I live for that little feeling that I get
when you say that you don't love
That empty stare at nothing
There's just no comparison
I get the slight sensation
of being beaten by a group of friends
then a wave of euphoria overwhelms
I am surely home again
hide my eyes so you can't see the animal
I've got inside of me
keep him drugged down in his dungeon
never to see the light of day
I'm not so sure that I can keep you safe
Sometimes he breaks away
I live for that little feeling that I get
when you say that I don't love
asphyxiate and exsanguinate
I drew you a bath of blood
