[Verse 1]
Her heart shivers in my hand
She's melting on me like cotton candy
I make the faces that make you cry
I want you more when you're afraid of my

[Chorus]
Disease, disease is draining me
Anymore you're not so pretty please
Disease, disease is draining me
I want you more when you're afraid of me

[Post-Chorus]
I will break your inside out
You are mine, you are mine
I will break you inside out
You are mine, you are mine

[Verse 2]
Her hair hangs in swollen strings
I'm choking on her, it feels so sickening
I make the faces that make you cry
I want you more when you're afraid of my

[Chorus]
Disease, disease is draining me
Anymore you're not so pretty please
Disease, disease is draining me
I want you more when you're afraid of me
Yeah!

[Post-Chorus]
I will break you inside out
You are mine, you are mine

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
