lyrics

Infatuated by the sight
Lurking in the dead of night
How much do I have to prove
Never good enough for you

Followed home, unaware
Underneath the moon
Silently, without a sound
Death will greet you soon
Grab her mouth so she can’t speak
You are done when I am through
You’re just scared, but I can’t wait
I know you want it too
Lashing out, taking victims
Unaware, your life is mine
Locked downstairs, muffled your screams
No escape, fulfill my dreams
Perverse desires, normal to me
I have to feed the need
Meant to be, soon you’ll see
Finally, together

Past the point of putrid perfection
Still, I long for her affection
The foolish say that it’s taboo
But I know it isn’t true
Skin touches skin, it peels away
Lost in the lust of her decay
The stench of her, intoxicating
This girl never keeps me waiting

When I’m with you time stands still
Every moment before the kill
When your screams are so helpless
Watching the way your skin undresses
Mocking the way that you plead
It only exhilarates me
Memorizing the look in your eye
The will to live before you die
Your life ends but I’m not finished
Again and again into putrescence
The best pleasure that I’ve known
Watching meat fall off the bone
Now you know that you mean
Everything to me
I’ll keep you here forever
We are inseparable
