You pick and choose your prey carefully
All you know how to do is lie and deceive
Then you grin and watch me bear my pain
Only to exploit me for personal gain

You pick and choose unsuspecting targets
The widows, the orphans, and the brokenhearted
And crush them down to nothingness
Leaving them confused, and short of breath

You pick and choose the next best thing to me
But you soon learn that you can't replace me
You persuade everyone that you're the victim
And everyone believes that I'm the sick one

Get a life and stop destroying others
Stop terrorizing your sisters and brothers
The love of power will cause you to perish
And none of your memories will be cherished

Fantasies can be addictive, but you must realize
There's a power greater than you in the sky
Who sees every smile you fake
And records every heart you deliberately break

So selfish lover, before you pick and choose
How would you feel if this was done to you
I must walk away since you refuse to behave
And I refuse to let you send me to my grave
