about

a song about giving everything you have to someone, because in this world it is eat or be eaten.

lyrics

oh I know
every single way you say you can swallow me whole
but I can’t go
when both my hands are half chewed up and spit back in your bowl

cuz all I wanted to do was touch your skin
but that would mean you’d have to let me in
so while I feel your teeth sink in my flesh
I remember once you said you loved me best

where’s my phone
I see it manifest into a lump inside your throat
and I’ll watch my tone
if you’ll just come and hold me till I’m just your sack of bones

cuz all I wanted to do was touch your skin
but that would mean you’d have to let me in
so while I feel your teeth sink in my flesh
I remember once you said you loved me best
and I recall the day I took you home
complimented my oven and my stove
you picked me up, said my body’s light as air
I guess it just felt better you were there

love is blind
i tell you i’m a cannibal
and you say you don’t mind
so take your time
I’ll be waiting on the couch
till you’re ready to dine
