[Verse 1]
What was it that stayed my hand then?
With dagger held unsheathed, blade pointing in its side
I'd been set upon by a predator
It was just looking for a meal, I saw ribs and fearful eyes
What is it that stays my hand now?
With so much misery that I could mercifully put end to
For that animal I let slink off into the undergrowth, unscathed
Do I not fear death, but just pretend to?

[Chorus]
For it was starving, it was hungry
But had eyes too close to let me
If you were easy to kill, I would have done it already

[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-da-ah
Ah-ah, ah
Da-da-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

[Verse 2]
Plagued by phantom noises
That that skeletal beast was haunting all my steps
Quеstioning all my choices
With that dagger held unshеathed, I felt sick at my contempt
[Chorus]
For you were lonely, you were like me
Like some outside force had sent me
If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already

[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-da-ah
Ah-ah, ah
Da-da-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ba-da-da-ah
Ah-ah, ah
Da-da-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

[Bridge]
You are at my feet, we're by the fire
You're a gentle beast, and I'm alive
You are at my feet, we're by the fire
You're a gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive
You are at my feet, we're by the fire
You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive
You are at my feet, we're by the fire
You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive

[Outro]
You are at my feet, we're by the fire
You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive
You are at my feet, we're by the fire ([Like an outside force had sent me?])
You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive (If you were easy to kill, I would have done it already)
