[Verse 1]
What pain will it take
To satisfy
Your sick appetite?
Go in for the kill
(Kill, kill, kill...)

[Refrain]
Always in sight, prey
The time always right, feast
Feed on the pain, taste
Sorrow made flesh, sweet

[Pre-Chorus]
Live how you want
Just don't feed on me
If you doubt what I say
I will make you believe
Shallow are words from those who starve
For a dream not their own to slash and scar

[Chorus]
Big words, small mind
Behind the pain you will find
A scavenger of human sorrow
Scavenger
Abstract theory the weapon of choice
Used by a scavenger of human sorrow
Scavenger

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
So you have traveled far
Across the sea
To spread your written brand
Of misery

[Refrain]
Always in sight, prey
The time always right, feast
Feed on the pain, taste
Sorrow made flesh, sweet

[Pre-Chorus]
Live how you want
Just don't feed on me
If you doubt what I say
I will make you believe
Shallow are words from those who starve
For a dream not their own to slash and scar
[Chorus]
Big words, small mind
Behind the pain you will find
A scavenger of human sorrow
Scavenger
Abstract theory the weapon of choice
Used by a scavenger of human sorrow
Scavenger

And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all
And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame that I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candlelit smile that we both share
And you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
I am falling, I am failing, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
Oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
I am falling, I am failing, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
