lyrics

This is the hunt, I stalk my prey.
When you draw nearer I push you away.
Please make it hard to catch your scent,
though it confuses you, how I hurt you and then repent.

Challenge me, don't give in easy.
Run from me, don't try to please me.
I need to fight for you, I need to fight and win.
Challenge me, please don't give in.

It's in my blood, in my DNA,
this need to chase and bleed my prey.
When you evade me it goes to my head like champagne.
I'm going to catch you and make you mine again.

Challenge me, don't give in easy.
Run from me, don't try to please me.
I need to fight for you, I need to fight and win.
Challenge me, please don't give in.

How I wanted to make you mine, but you came circling behind
and now I'm caught in your lure. I'm yours.
I lay my weapons down, I throw away my paper crown.
We were just children at play, the hunter and the prey.

Surrender. Shouldn't this be easy?
Come back to me. Don't you want to please me?
I don't want to fight anymore. This is not a game we can win.
Surrender, please let me in.
