Verse 1: You wanted me pure, you wanted me honest You wanted a soul to cave in when you want it Bloodthirsty Lust curse me Shame me, do what you can, but don’t blame me What did you fucking expect when I came out like this? What was your wish? To talk to me this sick? You bitch! YOU BITCH! [Pre-Chorus] You wanted silence YOU GOT A SIREN You wanted weakness NOW WATCH ME RISE IN IT You drew the line I SET IT ON FIRE You wanted control NOW LOOK WHAT YOU’VE INSPIRED! [Chorus] BLOODTHIRST! I DON’T NEED YOUR MERCY! BLOODTHIRST! YOU’LL NEVER OWN ME! HIGHER! HIGHER! I’M ABOVE YOUR EMPIRE! Everything beneath me EVERYTHING BENEATH ME! You wanted a monster NOW LOOK WHAT YOU’VE MADE! I’M NOT YOUR FUCKING SAINT I’M THE PRICE YOU NEVER PAID! Verse 2: You wanted a puppet with a beautiful face A soul on a leash that would stay in its place You wanted devotion, submission, control A pretty little body with a hole in its soul I AM THE STATIC I AM THE SCREAM I AM THE NIGHTMARE INSIDE YOUR DREAM You called me a failure You called me insane Now every damn limit Is fuel to the flame! [Pre-Chorus] NO MORE BEGGING! NO MORE BENDING! NO MORE BREAKING JUST TO KEEP YOU PRETENDING! You wanted power? YOU CAN’T HANDLE MINE! I LEFT YOUR LITTLE KINGDOM A THOUSAND MILES BEHIND! [Chorus] BLOODTHIRST! I DON’T NEED YOUR MERCY! BLOODTHIRST! YOU’LL NEVER OWN ME! HIGHER! HIGHER! I’M ABOVE YOUR EMPIRE! Everything beneath me EVERYTHING BENEATH ME! You wanted a monster NOW LOOK WHAT YOU’VE MADE! I’M NOT YOUR FUCKING SAINT I’M THE PRICE YOU NEVER PAID! [Breakdown] BOW DOWN? FUCK THAT! BACK OFF? TOO LATE! YOUR JUDGMENT YOUR RULES YOUR BEAUTIFUL HATE! I AM NOT YOUR PROPERTY! I AM NOT YOUR FUCKING CURE! YOU WANTED ME TO BREAK?! I’M SOMETHING YOU CAN’T CONTROL ANYMORE! [Bridge] Higher than your judgment Higher than your shame You can keep the ashes You can keep my name I don’t want your blessing I don’t need your throne I became the thing you feared WHEN YOU LEFT ME ALONE [Final Chorus] BLOODTHIRST! LET THE WHOLE WORLD HEAR ME! BLOODTHIRST! YOU’LL NEVER DISAPPEAR ME! HIGHER! HIGHER! I TRANSCEND YOUR EMPIRE! Everything beneath me EVERYTHING BENEATH ME! No more fucking halos No more masquerade YOU WANTED SOMETHING PURE NOW YOU GET WHAT YOU CREATED! [Outro] You wanted me harmless… You should’ve wanted me honest. BLOODTHIRST!
