Apex Predator

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

She’s begging on the door

She’s crawling on the floor

Oh, she’s so coy

She’s scratching on the walls.

She’s clawing at the gauze.

She’s so coy.

She’s a knot on the ropes

She’s pulling at the hooks

She’s so coy

Oh, you know she wants it

In the way that she taunts me.

Damn, she’s so coy.

It’s the apex predator

With a message for the listener.

Seduce & destroy.

Your head upon a stick

Would look really sick

But they would call me crazy

For the way i spoke to it.

I’d ask about its day,

Did it miss me while i was away?

Tight-lipped from the stitches

It wouldn’t have much to say....

The rest would be kept

In a tight little dress

Locked up in the corner

A perfect little pet

Locked in the box

So i could give start

A trophy to show me

To all i had lost

The writing on the wall

A psalm in napalm

“abandon all hope

But try to stay calm”

Bleach to clean the curses

“i exist. i’m not the first.

Tell my mother i love her.

I didn’t suffer”.

Photos & fantasies.

Virtuoso of crime scenes

The apex predator..."

Why does she look so much like me?

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that?

I gotta satisfy the thirst...

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that?

Death is such a flirt.

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that

You’ll get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that

Survival of the worst

It’s the apex predator

The writing on the wall

Em evas

She’s got a broken arm,

I’ve got a broken heart.

Boy, she’s so coy.

She made a little fire

With a fork & electrical wire.

Damn, she’s so coy.

Blowtorch nightlight,

Switchblade knife fights

Fuck, she’s so coy.

Thunder in the distance.

Gunshots or missiles?

My smile is artificial.

The lock clicks, my eyes fix.

The writing on the wall,

A psalm in napalm

“abandon all hope

But try to stay calm”

Bleach to clean the curses

“i exist. i’m not the first.

Tell my mother i love her.

I didn’t suffer”.

No regrets, no apologies.

A self-fulfilling prophecy.

The apex predator.

All i could smell was her hair ….burning

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt,

But where’s the fun in that?

I gotta satisfy the thirst

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that?

Death is such a flirt.

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that

To get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that

Survival of the worst

Why does she look so much like me?

Em evas… like worms on a hook

That were plucked from the heart

Of the bodies of gods

For the wretched and lost

Like worms on a hook

That were plucked from the heart

Of the bodies of gods

That men had forgot

Like worms on a hook

That were plucked from the heart

Of the bodies of gods

That were rotting to dust

All i could smell was her hair ….burning

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that?

I gotta satisfy the thirst...

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that?

Death is such a flirt.

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that

To get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that

Survival of the worst

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that?

I gotta satisfy the thirst...

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that?

Death is such a flirt.

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that

To get what you deserve

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

But where’s the fun in that

Survival of the worst

All i could smell was her hair…

All i could smell was her hair…

Burning…
