You may think
You're made of steel
I'm here to tell you that you're not
But you are just clay
Moldable and fresh
A dash of pepper
And desire will do the rest
I'll promise you
That I'm yours
Even though there's
Quite a grand tour
I want you to bleed for me
Bleed for me
Just to get close
I will twist your mind
Until you're exposed
I want you to vie for me
Vie for me
Put on your chains
You'll only feel happiness
Beneath all the pain
I want you to cry for me
Cry for me
I am your crown
Just make something up
And I'll parade you around
If you offend me
Buyer beware
I will destroy you
In my iron-clad snares
But, oh, please
Don't you go
I'll still put on a show
I just want you to bleed for me
Bleed for me
Until you are numb
Come to me, come to me
You're under my thumb
You want to be here
And I want you
Don't worry about your health
Even if you are blue
I just want you to stay with me
Stay with me
Wear your prison with pride
I may be a network
But it's you I'm inside
