I am, I am, I am
I said I wanna get next to you
I said I'm gonna get close to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too
Hurt you too

I ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A buyin' into your apathy
I'm gonna learn, you my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity
Atrocity

I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know

I am a man, a man
I'll give you something that you won't forget
I said you shouldn't have worn that dress
I said you shouldn't have worn that dress
Worn that dress

I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know

Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come

I am, I am, I am
I said I wanna get next to you
I said I gonna get close to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too
Hurt you too

I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know

I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know, you know, you know

Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come, I come

    This song is about the hunger for power that goes into rape... it's explicitly about rape but it can also be about how people maliciously play mind games with eachother to get inside eachothers' heads, that intrapersonal abuse of power. The verses are written from the point of view of a rapist to a victim, and that makes it scary, almost uncomfortable to listen to. But I feel like the chorus is the "victim" throwing up resistance. It's almost implied that the lyric could be "I hope it eats you up inside"... because even through rape, the ultimate abuse of power, the abuser will never get quite what he wants out of the victim because the victim can hold tight to the right of absolute power over his or herself mentally, even if not physically.
