lyrics

I'm trapped inside of this hotel
With fellow soldiers out of hell
And they forced our hands
Our hands are dirty now

I found a way around the rules
For company that we could choose
But they forced our hands

We wait like wolves and we strike
We pay for just what we like
Until this hunger ends
But now I'm back from the war
And I'll give you so much more
Until this hunger ends

I am patiently pacing the room
Only god knows what I'm gonna
Do to you

I feel my blood is rushing through
Oh you take what you need and
I'll take care of you

We wait like wolves and we strike
We pay for just what we like
Until this hunger ends
But now I'm back from the war
And I'll give you so much more
Until this hunger ends

I'm not a lonely man, your normal transaction
I can do this myself, I'm just here for the reaction
So we're both cold, but how you move to my touch
Feels like you might be really getting o(ff)...no, that's a bit much

This is love by the hour I know you don't care
But it's been a little while so we'll have some despair
My shrink won't let me run my hands through her hair
So pretend that you're listening I've been dying to share

To be at my best, I've gotta feel the worst
And I know that's not what they call healthy
Words won't come out, talent don't compel
And I can't see the cards they dealt me

Speaking of animals, there's no better way
To make me howl at the moon than you pretending to pray
And with a name that sounds like love in her tongue
I'm a dead man smiling on my way to be hung
(dead man smiling on his way to be hung)

We wait like wolves and we strike
We pay for just what we like
Until this hunger ends
But now I'm back from the war
And I'll give you so much more
Until this hunger ends

What I meant to say
Is that i had you left to right
And you know
Until it ends

We wait like wolves and we strike
We pay for just what we like
