The Predator

[Intro] And I just watch, then I just wait Still and sedate For someone to take the bait In my trap made of sweet fragility Soft “I understand”s “Look at me, I’m not your enemy” [Verse 1] I reach a hand, conceal the claws Hide all the fangs I play the cause I’m the good boy Gentle and coy To hide my skin— The big bad wolf within [Chorus 1] And when you cry Deep in my eyes There is a gleam It’s the predator’s dream A wolf in a sheep disguise “I’m just here for you” “Tell me what to do” “But adore me—just a little more too” [Verse 2] A narcissist wrapped in poison vines! Yes, I know it’s wrong To play this song I whimper out some guilt and shame But it’s just more tricks in the game [Pre-Chorus] And now I’ve got her, yes, she’s mine! She stepped right into the line I’ll shower her with gentle lies Then vanish before her eyes [Bridge 1] But oh surprise—it slipped away She says she wants to walk, not stay She says I’m unstable She feels unstable She just wants my friendly face “Be patient now, She’ll break somehow...” But no—she’s found her grace [Verse 3] She’s doing bad, Really bad... And I see my chance unfold I go to her, I play the part I show her I can heal her heart [Bridge 2] But I grow restless, time feels tight So I suggest, “Let’s spend the night” “You know it’d help, you’d feel alright…” She says no—but I press more As I lean close on her floor [Chorus 2] But she resists, though I persist My perfect plan has come to this Now she knows, and she won’t cower She stands against the predator’s power And I feel dumb, ashamed, exposed I mask it with a sadness pose [Outro] ‘Cause that’s my mask, that’s my play To look so weak, and fade away [instrumental intensity growing] Monster!! (...AAOOUUUUH!!!...) It’s inked right there Close to my chest The monstera! It’s inked right there— But there’s no heart left... Watch yourself ! [end]
