lyrics

Predator Instinct

nighttime is your time
when your instincts comes alive
you say that something must die
for you to survive
and i'll grow eyes on the sides of my head
till your predator instinct is dead
yes i love you
in the dark
yes i love you
in the dark
i love you
in the dark
and i love you
because your teeth are sharp

i stay here
because part of me is you
i'm horrified and tantalized
by everything you do
i'll hunt that part in me inside
till every innocent part of me has died
you should grow eyes on the sides of your head
till my predator instinct is dead
and you love me
in the dark
yes you love me
in the dark
yes you love me
in the dark
you love me
because my teeth are sharp

you saw your prey in me
and i saw my prey in you
there's nothing left of me
there's nothing left of you
we've grown eyes on the side of our head
until the predator inside us dead
yes i love you
in the dark
and you love me
in the dark
and I love you
in the dark
and you love me
because my teeth are sharp
