[Intro]
You Animal, you ungrateful
You cannibal, eat my soul
Impossible way to love you
Incredible love I show
Unstoppable situation decided by my control
Illusion, you feed me fiction
I'm still begging you please don't go
[Verse 1]
Like anti-freeze, kill me sweetly
You chemical break me down
My albatross, always with me
You, my cynical siren song
You animal got your prey now
You're ravenous, time to feed
Keep using your words to cut me
I'm your masochist, make me bleed
[Chorus]
Claw at my walls, I'll come when you cry
Oh, no now, you're never gonna love me
You're licking your chops and you howl with your eyes
Oh no, now you're just like an animal
[Post-Chorus]
I love you
I need you
I want to
[Verse 2]
My animal on your leash now
Teeth tearing my skin apart
The thing that you give becomes me
Break my, ay ay, ay heart
Chimera you show no mercy
So savage you're breathing fire
You vicious, enchanting monster
Feel my veins with cool desire
[Chorus]
Claw at my walls, I'll come when you cry
Oh, no now, you're never gonna love me
You're licking your chops and you howl with your eyes
Oh no, now you're just like an animal
There's blood on your tongue when you kiss me goodbye
Oh no, now you're just like an animal
[Post-Chorus]
I love you
I need you
I want to
[Guitar Solo/Breakdown]
[Chorus]
No, no, no
You're never gonna love me
You're licking your chops and you howl with your eyes
Oh no, now you're just like an animal
There's blood on your tongue when you kiss me goodbye
Oh no, now you're just like an animal
[Post-Chorus]
I love you
I need you
I want to
Stop
