[Chorus]
Baby I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals
Like animals

[Verse 1]
So what you trying to do to me
It's like we can't stop, we're enemies
But we get along when I'm inside you
You're like a drug that's killing me
I cut you out entirely
But I get so high when I'm inside you

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah you can start over, you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down, rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me, but no

[Chorus]
Baby I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals
Like animals

[Verse 2]
So if I run, it's not enough
You're still in my head, forever stuck
So you can do what you wanna do
I love your lies, I'll eat 'em up
But don't deny the animal
That comes alive when I'm inside you

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]
Yeah you can start over, you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down, rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me, but no

[Chorus]
Baby I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals

[Bridge]
Don't tell no lies, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
The beast inside, si-si-side (yeah, yeah, yeah)
No girl don't lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
The beast inside, si-si-side (yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Breakdown]
(A-hoooooooo)
Animals, animals, like animals-mals
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals

[Chorus]
Baby I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals

[Bridge]
Don't tell no lies, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
The beast inside, si-si-side (yeah, yeah, yeah)
No girl don't lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
The beast inside, si-si-side (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ice Nine Kills

Ice Nine Kills is an American metalcore band founded in Boston, Massachusetts.

The band formed in 2002. Best known for its Horror-inspired lyrics, Ice Nine Kills formed in its earliest incarnation in 2002 by high school friends Spencer Charnas and Jeremy Schwartz. The group originally pursued a style combining pop-punk, emo, post-hardcore and ska into their own innovative blend of rock, but have since shifted into more of a theatrical metalcore hybrid. Charnas is currently the only remaining founding member.

To date, Ice Nine Kills has released three The Burning, 2 Song Acoustic and The Predator. Four full-length studio Last Chance to Make Amends, Safe Is Just a Shadow, The Predator Becomes the Prey, Every Trick in the Book and The Silver Scream.
