I'm like a ghost I'll be living in a dirt room Waiting for the day to be closer To the window when you're home I'll be standing by your back door Reaching for the knife in my coat I'm going to put it to your throat You sweaty piggy, you're a bad man What a fucking sad way to go Your mother raised you as a joke I should have wiped away a burden Use the curtain in the kitchen to choke You You think you own me You should have known me You took the future and the food off my family's plate You'll think you'll use me I'm stronger than you You take my money, but it's useless When you see what I do to you Look what I'm doing to you Oh god then you awoke You start screaming through the duct tape Don't ever think I'm letting you go I'm busy digging you a hole Now you'll be living in a dirt room Breathing through the straw of your own Come on I really think that this is fun for the money I'll make it comfy for the time wasted making you rich I want to cover you in ants, bees and honey Then take a picture for the cover of our album! You think you own me You should have known me You took the future and the food off my family's plate You'll think you'll use me I'm stronger than you You take my money, but it's useless When you see what I do to you You think you own me You should have known me You took the future, the food off my family's plate You'll think you'll use me But I'm stronger than you You take my money, but it's useless When you see what I do to you And now I see you, oh 'Cause your back's against the wall And finally you're mine You're mine You think you own me You should have known me You took the future and the food off my family's plate You'll think you'll use me I'm stronger than you You take my money, but it's useless When you see what I do to you I really think that this is fun for the money We'll make you comfy for the time wasted making you rich I want to cover you in ants, bees and honey Then take a picture for the cover of our album
