Ive been drowned out by the rain
 Still im wishing i could stay
 But im sorry my old friend
 Ive 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
 Cant be more than what we are
 Cant be more till its over

 Chorus:
 Here comes the resurrection
 Everybodys 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

 Verse:
 So you goad me into spite
 Its the cruelty that youd like
 Its the waiting for the one thing
 That you never could define
 Fill the longing just because
 Emasculate the ones you love
 Have to wait till its 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
 Ive been drowned out by the rain
 Still im wishing i could stay
 But im sorry my old friend
 Ill 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
 Cant be more than what we are
 Cant be more when its over

 Chorus:
 Here comes the resurrection
 Everybody wants to die for something
 Never thought id live to leave you when you go
 I saw you strip my babies
 Animal the way we cut them might be
 Animal the way we cut them from below
 And if anger is the ending
 for the thing that weve become
 For the mother and the father
 And the sister and the son
 Through the shallow without wanting
 Realization to mistake
 Through the ugliness
 The open all the things we cant replace
 I will control
 I will control
 I will control
