Let's try one more time
Do it once again, feed on me
Leave bruises on my skin
I'm stronger now than how I used to be
Push in your knife, till it's slick
I can take it no matter how deep
You were a monster
And I was your prey
But whilst you were gone I cut myself away
The little fragile pieces I've swallowed
Whilst I picked up hard scales you've shed
Wore it on my skin
To make up for the loneliness if not having you here
Till the flesh attached to my nerves
Let's see how it would feel
To stab the same skin you once wore
Feed on me
Feed on the monster you turned me to be.
