Bite the Hand That Bleeds
Fear Factory Lyrics

I watch you tap the blood in my vein
I see you taking advantage of me, draining my energy and emotions for your own benefit.

My heart you feed on to keep you sustained
You rely on my vulnerability and emotions to sustain yourself, leaving me feeling drained.

A parasite that leaves me cold and drained
You are like a parasite, constantly taking from me and leaving me feeling empty and cold.

I'm in shock and you leave me paralyzed
Your actions have left me stunned and unable to react or protect myself.

And the saddest part I realize
I am starting to understand the true nature of our relationship and it is a painful realization.

The absence of truth behind your eyes
I see that you are a liar and there is no honesty or sincerity in our interactions.

I feel you tapping my soul from my vein
You are taking advantage of my deepest emotions and desires, leaving me feeling exposed and vulnerable.

I feel you tapping again on my vein
You continue to take from me, leaving me feeling drained and powerless.

I feel my life slipping away
I feel like you are draining the life from me and I am helpless to stop it.

One more drop of blood I spill
You have taken so much from me that I can barely stand, but I am still trying to give you what you want.

One more drop you take
You continue to take from me without regard for my well-being or feelings.

One more drop and I will spite
If you take any more from me, I will retaliate and refuse to give you what you want.

And bite the hand that bleeds...
I will turn on you and hurt you in the same way that you have hurt me.

I see you have two faces turning
You are not trustworthy and you change your behavior depending on who you are dealing with.

Changing face to keep me guessing
You purposely try to confuse me and keep me off-balance so that I am easier to manipulate.

You have mastered the art of deceiving
You are very skilled at lying and manipulating people to get what you want.

Now I know no one trusts you
I am starting to see that you are not trustworthy and that others have realized this too.

Now I know not even you do
You don't even trust yourself and your own intentions, which makes it hard for anyone else to trust you.

And I think, your salt in my wounds
You are deliberately causing me pain and taking pleasure in my suffering.

One more drop of blood I spill
Even though I am aware of the harm you are causing me, I am still trying to give you what you want.

One more drop and I will spite
If you continue to take from me, I will refuse to give you anything else.

And bite the hand that bleeds...
I will turn on you and hurt you in the same way that you have hurt me.

Bite the hand that bleeds you
I will not continue to allow myself to be drained and hurt by you.

One more drop of blood I spill
Even though I am aware of the harm you are causing me, I am still trying to give you what you want.

One more drop you take
You continue to take from me without regard for my well-being or feelings.

One more drop and I will spite
If you continue to take from me, I will refuse to give you anything else.

And bite the hand that bleeds...
I will turn on you and hurt you in the same way that you have hurt me.

Bite the hand that bleeds you
I will not continue to allow myself to be drained and hurt by you.

You...
The song ends on this line, showing that the artist is now in control and has taken their power back from the person who was draining them.
