Something in me
I don't understand, a demand
a threatening voice
with a firm command
A liar, a danger
a killer, a stranger
Yeah, I guess that's me
I will extol you
I will control you
I will pick you up
just to let you down
I will desire you
I will tire of you
I will pull you in
just to see you drown
Someone in me
I don't recognize, a disguise
A faint reflection
with far away eyes
A liar, a danger
a killer, a stranger
Yeah, I guess that's me
I will extol you
I will control you
I will build you up
just to tear you down
I will desire you
I will tire of you
I will pull you in
just to see you drown
I will extol you
I will control you
I will lift you up
just to drag you down
I will desire you
I will tire of you
I will pull you in
just to see you drown
