Fishing For Humans Lyrics

Reaching for something that I never had

Sensing a killing, you held out your hand

I grasped it tightly the way that you'd planned

This is how it all began

Fishing for humans to batter and gut

Lonely and gullible, ripe for the cut

Manipulating and gaining their trust

Hook line and sinker, you caught yourself a chump

Sold me your story and now you sell mine

Hooked on your lies, you were biding your time

You set me up for maximum exposure

Drafting your ransom to sardonic laughter

I believed

You deceived

Let me see

What you have on me

Crippled by stage fright or too camera shy

Never a signal, you can't perform live

Always a reason to stay out of sight

I wish I had hid from you

I added colour to your black and white

Plot twists and turns like a knife in my side

Sick of the drama and desensitised

I grew determined to rid myself of you

Sold me your story and now you sell mine

Hooked on your lies, you were biding your time

You set me up for maximum exposure

Drafting your ransom to sardonic laughter

Joining the dots it just doesn't add up

Too many gaps now I'm calling your bluff

Missed ultimatums conclusive enough

Checkmate's the end of the game

Beneath the mountain or up in the clouds

Wherever you say you are, you're never found

Back in the woodwork or under that rock

Get the hell back whence you came

I believed

You deceived

Let me see

What you have on me

Told them your story, well now I tell mine

Fell for your lines once but then I got wise

You stick your head up and I will expose you

I'll make you suffer from now to hereafter
