Bite The Hand That Bleeds

Fear Factory · Saw (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [2004]

I watch you tap for blood in my vein

My heart you feed on to keep you sustained

A parasite that leaves me cold and drained



I'm in shock and you leave me paralysed

And the sadest part I realise

The absense of truth behind your eyes



I feel you tapping my soul from my vein

I feel you tapping again on my vein

I feel my life slipping away



One more drop of the blood I spill

One more drop you take

One more drop and I will spite

Bite the hand that bleeds



I see you have two faces turning

Changing face to keep me guessing

You have mastered the art of deceiving

(deceiving. deceiving, deceiving)



Now I know no one trusts you

Now I know not even you do

And to think you're salt in my wounds



Now I know no one trusts you

Now I know no one trusts you

Now I know you're salt in my wounds



One more drop of the blood I spill

One more drop you take

One more drop and I will spite

And bite the hand that bleeds



Bite the hand that bleeds you (x4)



One more drop of the blood I spill

One more drop you take

One more drop and I will spite

And bite the hand that bleeds



Bite the hand that bleeds you (x4)

You-oo-oo

You-oo
