I?ve been drowned out by the rain   Still I?m wishing I could stay   But I'm sorry, my old friend   I've got to leave you once again      And despite what I might say   I measure pleasure by the pain   Measure pleasure by the twisting   Of the metal in the vein      And it might be very hard   Can't be more than what we are   Can't be more 'til it's over   Here comes the resurrection      Everybody?s got to die from something   Nothing ever left to leave you when you go   I saw you strip my babies   Animal the way you cut them might be   Animal the way I cut you from below      So you goad me into spite   It's the cruelty that you'd like   It's the waiting for the one thing   That you never could define      Fill the longing just because   Emasculate the ones you love   Have to wait 'til it's over   We are the less than mighty      Never was a way I thought it could be   Never quite enough to leave you when you go   I saw you strip my babies   Animal the way you cut them might be   Animal the way I cut you from below      I've been drowned out by the rain   Still I'm wishing I could stay   But I'm sorry, my old friend   I'll have to leave you once again      And despite what I might say   I measure pleasure by the pain   Measure pleasure by the twisting   Of the metal in the vein      And it might be very hard   Can't be more than what we are   Can't be more 'til it's over   Here comes the resurrection      Everybody wants to die for something   Never thought I'd live to leave you when you go   I saw you strip my babies   Animal the way you cut them might be   Animal the way we caught you from below      And if anger is the ending   Of the thing that we've become   For the mother and the father   And the sister and the son      Through the shallow without wanting   Realization to mistake   Through the ugliness   To open all the things we can't replace      I will control   I will control   I will control   I will control      I will control   I will control   I will control
