Caught up in this madness too blind to see Woke animal feelings in me Took over my sense and I lost control I'll taste your blood tonight You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby But now it's too late you've wasted all your time Relax while you're closing your eyes to me So warm as I'm setting you free With your arms by your side there's no struggling Pleasure's all mine this time You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby But now it's too late you've wasted all your time Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure, unmask your desire Perishing We've all had a time where we've lost control We've all had our time to grow I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right I'll hunt again one night You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby But now it's too late you've wasted all your time Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure, unmask your desire Perishing Some live repressing their instinctive feelings Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me Scream, scream, scream the way you would If I ravaged your body Scream, scream, scream the way you would If I ravaged your mind Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure, unmask your desire Perishing
