Watching, waiting,
Tension mounting slowly.
I hope I can control it,
I can't be sure.
I'm tired being careful,
And hiding from the world.
The sickness that I have,
Has no known cure.
Wanting all wrapped up in need,
Who planted this demon seed in me?
The hunger I'll always have to feed.
Wanting all wrapped up in need.
Who planted this demon seed in me?
Burning a hole, right through my soul,
Deep down, deeper than greed.
Watching, waiting,
There's power in being unseen.
They look you in the eyes,
But they'll never tell.
And as darkness falls,
Walking empty streets I feel it,
Coursing through my veins.
It burns like Hell.
Wanting all wrapped up in need,
Who planted this demon seed in me?
The hunger I'll always have to feed.
Wanting all wrapped up in need.
Who planted this demon seed in me?
Burning a hole, right through my soul,
Deep down, deeper than greed.
Deep down, deeper than greed.
Deep down, deeper than greed.
