________________ A song in the playlist for the 7 Deadly sins, Introducing "Gluttony" ________________ Rot ‘neath the gild, a sacrament of flies, Velvet throats sing as the meat turns to lies. One more bite—splinter the bone, But the feast is a coffin I carve on my own… I swore I’d fast, I swore I’d pray, But the table’s set— I’m the main dish today. It’s never enough, never enough— I’ll chew through the heavens, spit out the stars’ rust! This hunger’s a priest with a blade for a tongue, *And the pews of my ribs scream, “*More! Undo what you’ve done!” Crimson communion, the chalice’s a knife, Swallow the moon, choke on its borrowed light. Eyes like tar, fingers like hooks, But the void’s got a mouth, and it’s readin’ my books… I swore I’d starve, I swore I’d bleed, But the void’s got my teeth—and it’s beggin’ to feed. It’s never enough, never enough— I’ll lick the sun’s corpse ‘til my tongue’s atomic dust! This hunger’s a hymn, this fire’s a crutch, *And the altar inside me cries, “*More! You’re addicted to touch!” When does the hunger die? When does the feast unspool? The mirror hisses, “You’re the meat, And the mouth… and the tool…” Never enough… Never enough… I’ll gnaw God’s own wrist, drink the cosmos’ last puff. Dig my grave with a crown for a spoon— “More,” roars the dirt, as I become the tomb. _____________________________ ©️2025 Sloth
