Bit by bit,
piece by piece,
Get your bloody claws away from me.

Te amo,
Je t'aime,
I love you.
No matter how you say it,
your words are poison.

Get off of me, you vile beast!
Go crawl away into your hole,
where lies and screams echo from your soul.

You wish for me so,
you lust for me.
But you cannot always have what you want,
for I am FREE.
