[Intro] [Verse 1] Long table buckles under plates Knife draws a line through grease Your jaw keeps time with every bite My throat says stop; my hands say feast Bottomless, the silver bowl A wet shine crawling up the wall We pass the meat, we pass the hours And leave no name upon it all [Pre-Chorus] Sweat runs cold beneath my collar My fingers shake, my throat burns raw Still I reach across the table Still I take another handful [Chorus] Feed the fire—let it eat Swallow the world, swallow the years An endless mouth with a splitting seam Nothing fills it, nothing stays Feed the fire—make it deep Take every face, take every breath I choke on all I’ve pulled inside Still I’m starving at the end [Verse 2] I ate the letters, ate the summers Chewed the names I used to know I swallowed daylight from the windows Left the rooms with nowhere to go Empty gut beneath the wreckage Empty shell beneath my skin I devour what I’m afraid of Then panic for the next thing in [Pre-Chorus] Sweat runs cold beneath my collar My fingers shake, my throat burns raw Still I reach across the table Still I take another handful [Chorus] Feed the fire—let it eat Swallow the world, swallow the years An endless mouth with a splitting seam Nothing fills it, nothing stays Feed the fire—make it deep Take every face, take every breath I choke on all I’ve pulled inside Still I’m starving at the end [Bridge] Slow… slower… The throat shuts tight Grease on my tongue No air tonight Still my jaw works Still teeth descend I choke on plenty And chew again [Final Chorus] Feed the fire—let it eat Swallow the world, swallow the years An endless mouth beneath the floor Nothing fills it, nothing stays Feed the fire—take the room Take every face, take every breath Buried alive in all I consumed Still I’m starving at the end [Outro] One long groan beneath the weight Breath drags out; the throat swallows
