I Know You
better than you think I do

the pleasant parasite
smiling as you suck the life
from anyone who trusts
enough to let you come inside

You take
more than you will ever give

to you it's just a game
see how far this hand will play
you'll only give enough
to make it through another day.

chorus:
I know that what you say
     is what you think I want to hear
Stick with the weaker ones,
     maybe you'll last another year
If you can't make the grade
     then get the hell out of my way.
there's nothing left for you to say
'cause I Know You

~~~~

I Know You
think that I will never leave

don't be so sure, my friend
parasites don't always win
you'll be left, sad and broken
when you've reached the tether's end

the truth
is you can't live without your prey

you'll never stand alone
now that your cover's blown
You haven't got the stuff
it takes to make it on your own.

~~~~

I Know You
have your uses, this is true

Reluctant symbiont
Let's get one thing straight up front
You'll only get to stay
if you can give me what I want
