I wanna live

But I, I swear

He's onto me

And I can feel…

The hunter covers his tracks

He quietly moves

He wanders politely

Gets closer to you

It’s over before you

Even get to choose

Can you dabble in the art

Of how he alters the future?

A marvel in the night

He's got a dark sense of humour

He reaches through the laws

And he'll take whatever’s yours

Nah!

He gets what hе adores

Save for this

He's got a tailorеd taste for

Taking the piss

The state of things

Is nothing he won't

Fix with a grin

And yet

It hurts like a bitch

The way he flips the script

You see he won't listen to me!

(he) never hears the feed

(feed) back to back, my pleas

(please) see me, see I breathe!

You see he won't listen to me!

(he) got me on my knees

(knees) bleeding from the strings

(strings) attached to me, I fe-e-el!

But it doesn't even matter

No, it doesn't even fare

I, I'm not a vital instrument

I’m insolent

An ignorant participant of impotence

It’s imminent

My word is nothing against his!

He uses me

Yes, he uses me for parts

Abuses me

Abuses me for art

I used to take apart

The reason and the heart

The meat of it, mm

He has such a way with words

He has me in open turf

A deer in the firing-line

His dessert

Am I nothing but a morsel

Is he looking to have me?

Am I whore for thinking that

He'd ever indulge me?

Will he ever change his mind?

Does his hunger ever die?

Nah!

He rolls your fate in dice

Favourites

He’s gonna make his way

To burning the bridge

He's amorous, aggressive

When he's stitching the snitch

And yet

It hurts like a bitch

The way he flips the switch

You see he won't listen to me!

(he) never hears the feed

(feed) back to back, my pleas

(please) see me, see the strings!

You see he won’t listen to me!

(he) got me on my knees

(knees) bleeding from the strings

(strings) attached to me, they fe-e-ed!

I wanna change the tide

I wanna change the way you lie

I know it means to end

And I've got a means to end

I'll take a guess

Got a strategy to check

Under stress

Best the best

I'll take you head to head

I got a proposition

You take me down

Under one condition

You sever every string

So if I go to you

It's my own volition

You can tear me in half

You can hunt me in the dark

Gimme a choice to sabotage my life

So that I have a part!

(You see he won't listen to me!)

((he) never hears the feed)

((feed) back to back, my pleas)

((please) see me, see the strings!)

(see me, see the strings!)

(see me, see the strings!)

(see me, see the strings!)
