[Verse 1]
The hunger inside given to me makes me what I am
Always it is calling me, for the blood of man

[Chorus]
They say I cannot be this, I am jaded, hiding from the day
I can't bare, I cannot tame the hunger in me
Oh, I say I did and always searching, you can't fuck with me
So instead you'll taste my pain

[Verse 2]
The hunger inside given to me makes me feel alive
Always out stalking prey, in the dark I hide
Feeling, falling, hating, feel like
I am fading, hating life!

[Chorus]
They say I cannot be this, I am jaded, hiding from the day
I can't bare, I cannot tame the hunger in me
Oh, I say I did and always searching, you can't fuck with me
So instead you'll taste my pain!

[Verse 3]
You say your life I'm taking, always bothering me
I can't take this anymore, I'm failing, always smothering me
You look down on me, hey, what you see?
Take this gift from me, you will soon be me

[Outro]
Nothing seems exciting, always the same hiding, hiding
It's haunting me
It's haunting me
It's haunting me
It's haunting me
It's haunting me

Marilyn Manson

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
