lyrics

You've come for your pound of flesh
Well I know your greed is quite a stench

You've cast your beady eyes over
Finery you perceive as mine

Nose slashed across your face
To keep you beauty down beneath our hate

Revenge yourself on me
Claws gleam and I am conscience free

You're here to eat your fill
But you'll bend the truth until it is your will

A final spiteful rage
Is quelled by your indifferent page
