lyrics

You can say that I don't mean nothin' to you
You can say that you hate ev'rything that I do
Tell the world that I let you down
Told you lies and led you on
Ground you up as fodder for my songs

But oh, when I hold you close tonight
You'll say you love me and swear everything's alright
First you'll shudder, then call my name
Sink your nails till you hit my veins

You used to think that my eyes were black as coal
Now you think they're windows in a black hole
Tie me up with a spider's skill,
Spit me out like a bitter pill
Dead a thousand times if looks could kill

But oh, when I hold you close tonight
You'll say you love me and swear everything's alright
First you'll shudder, then call my name
Drink my blood when you hit my veins

Now you say that I'm really not that bad
Not the first and not the best you've had
How you need my wild desire,
Gnashing teeth and tongue of fire
Lay me low so you can rise much higher

But oh, when I hold you close tonight
You'll say you love me and swear everything's alright
First you'll shudder, then call my name
Sink your nails till you hit my veins
