And I know it, I can't feel it Well, I know it enough to believe it And I know it, I can't see it But I know it enough to believe it It's bettering you, it's bettering me My better half has bitten me It's bettering you, it's bettering me Sleeping with my enemy myself, myself The pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep You're hungry, but I'm starving He cuts you down from the tree He keeps you in a box by the bed Alive but just barely He said, I'm your lover, I'm your friend I'm purity, hit me again With a bullet, number one Kill the family, save the son himself, himself The pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep Now, you're Mine
