You'll dull all your knives with this
Your teeth will all rot with this
& there's that spot worn into your ribs
From the pumping
While you stand, clenched hand listening
For a thing you can't see
A creature who never dies
As long as you're alive to eat
There once was a callous king
He cut down her sacred tree
& so she took her revenge
She put the god of hunger in his belly
He sold his kingdom to buy his bread
But it just didn't matter
He ate the dust when all the lambs were slaughtered
To tame his tongue he ate his only daughter
So you'll dull all your knives with this
Your teeth will all rot with this
And there's that spot worn into your ribs
It needs filling
& you're so hungry
That one day you ate yourself
