ive been drowned out by the rain

still im wishing i could stay

but im sorry my old friend

ive got to leave you once again

and despite what i might say

i measure pleasure by the pain

measure pleasure by the twisting

of the metal in the vein

and it might be very hard

cant be more than what we are

cant be more till its over

here comes the resurrection

everybodys got to die from something

nothing ever left to leave you when you go

i saw you strip my babies

animal the way you cut them might be

animal the way i cut you from below

so you goad me into spite

its the cruelty that youd like

its the waiting for the one thing

that you never could define

fill the longing just because

emasculate the ones you love

have to wait till its over

we are the less than mighty

never was a way i thought it could be

never quite enough to leave you when you go

i saw you strip my babies

animal the way you cut them might be

animal the way i cut you from below

ive been drowned out by the rain

still im wishing i could stay

but im sorry my old friend

ill have to leave you once again

and despite what i might say

i measure pleasure by the pain

measure pleasure by the twisting

of the metal in the vein

and it might be very hard

cant be more than what we are

cant be more when its over

here comes the resurrection

everybody wants to die for something

never thought id live to leave you when you go

i saw you strip my babies

animal the way we cut them might be

animal the way we cut them from below

and if anger is the ending

of the thing that weve become

for the mother and the father

and the sister and the son

through the shallow without wanting

realization to mistake

through the ugliness

the open all the things we cant replace

i will control
