[Verse 1]

I've been drowned out by the rain

Still I'm wishing I could stay

But I'm sorry, my old friend

I've got to leave you once again

And despite what I might say

Measure pleasure by the pain

Measure pleasure by the twisting of the metal in the vein

And it might be very hard

Can't be more than what we are

Can't be more 'til it's over

[Chorus]

Here comes the resurrection

Everybody got to die from something

Nothing ever left to leave you when you go

I saw you strip my babies

Animal, the way you cut them might be

Animal, the way I cut you from below

[Verse 2]

So you goad me into spite

It's the cruelty that you like

It's the waiting for the one thing that you never could define

Fill the longing just because

Emasculates the ones you love

Have to wait 'til it's over

[Chorus]

We are the less than mighty

Never was a way I thought it could be

Never quite enough to leave you when you go

I saw you strip my babies

Animal, the way you cut them might be

Animal, the way I cut you from below

[Verse 3]

I've been drowned out by the rain

Still I'm wishing I could stay

But I'm sorry, my old friend

I've got to leave you once again

And despite what I might say

Measure pleasure by the pain

Measure pleasure by the twisting of the metal in the vein

And it might be very hard

Can't be more than what we are

Can't be more 'til it's over

[Chorus]

Here comes the resurrection

Everybody got to die from something

Nothing ever left to leave you when you go

I saw you strip my babies

Animal, the way you cut them might be

Animal, the way I cut you from below

[Outro]

And if anger is the ending of the things that we've become

For the mother and the father and the sister and the son

Through the shallow without wanting realisation to mistake

In the ugliness, the open, all the things we can't replace

I will control

I will control

I will control

I will control

I will control

I will control

I will control
