Lyrics:
Don’t wanna wait Because I’m feeling something I know it’s not nothing You had it coming
Its to late To turn back now It’d be a shame Not to find out how
Much I hate That I don’t care to see what happens to me When I run free
And I now you see That your actions have caused me To do what it tells me And come when it calls me
Want to be Something else for a change Someone not so deranged Somewhere out of range
So you can’t find The little patch it in the light Where I go to hide When it comes to life!
Feels like nothing to loose
I feel it coming Got me crawling I can smell you A mile away
When I close in Is when I notice The hunter has become the prey …and that’s okay
