despicable animal

if i say no to you

will i still go to you

begging a desperate grin?

all eyes and mouth

will i still shut you out?

will i eat all your ashes again?

still in this haste

wonder what is this taste

you are feeding me gentle and plain

though i am made for you

i am afraid of you

violence is part of your name

thank god

i'm home

you're finally on to me

my one

my own

despicable animal

i hope we meet

and still you will speak to me

i shift to flee

and render it obsolete

but i won't see the sun for anyone

my blindness is complete

and there is no coin or currency

to equal my belief

if i can bring us to the water

will you promise to drink deep?

you are the one who makes me golden

as i shudder in my sleep

you are the one

is it a flaw

that i'm proud of it all

at how little that we truly need?

i was in awe

i was never in doubt

of how terrible hunger can be

thank god

i'm home

you're finally on to me

my one

my own

despicable animal

i swear i can speak

but my jaw is loosening

i feel the pull

and oh it is frightening

but i won't see the sun for anyone

my blindness is complete

and there is no coin or currency

to equal my belief

if i can bring us to water

will you promise to drink deep?

you are the one who makes me golden

as i murder in my sleep

you are the one

and i won't see the sun

for anyone
