THE FEAST (APPETITE FOR LIFE)
[Intro: warm filtered bass pulsing, trance arps shimmering, a crowd's warmth under the beat] VOICE 3 (whispered, layered, inviting under the beat): they farmed the hunger... sold the never-full... we return the feast... appetite for life... [Verse 1: Voice 1 center, warm and rhythmic, Voice 2 echoing right] they built a hunger-farm — (hunger-farm...) manufactured appetite — (appetite...) the scroll that never arrives — (arrives...) the feed that feeds on you — (feeds on you...) everything's a prescription — (prescription...) keep coming back for more — (for more...) the meal eaten absent — (absent...) scrolling through the course — (the course...) living just to eat — (to eat...) the trap that wears a plate — (a plate...) consumption without savor — (savor...) the appetite they bait — (they bait...) but hunger was never the sin — (the sin...) it's the oldest signal — misrouted — (misrouted...) the stomach's not the only mouth — (the mouth...) the soul's appetite... deluded. (deluded...) [Pre-Chorus: voices tightening, echoes swirling, warmth building] VOICE 1: invert it — VOICE 2: (invert it...) VOICE 1: the hunger that savors — VOICE 3: (that savors...) VOICE 1: the feast that feeds — ALL THREE: instead of feeds-on... set the table. [Chorus: full injection, hands in the air, communal joy] THE FEAST! (THE FEAST!) APPETITE FOR LIFE! (FOR LIFE!) THE HUNGER THAT SINGS! (THAT SINGS!) INSTEAD OF SWALLOWS! (SWALLOWS!) SAVOR THE MOMENT! (THE MOMENT!) GRATITUDE THE BREAD! (THE BREAD!) THE FEAST WAS ALWAYS! (ALWAYS!) IN THE CHEST! (IN THE CHEST!) [Verse 2: the practices — Voice 1 center, Voice 2 echoing] the first bite — attended — (attended...) the phone — away — (away...) the table — an altar — (an altar...) gratitude — before the plate — (the plate...) thank the earth — that grew it — (grew it...) blast it back — with thanks — (with thanks...) the mother — never cancels — (cancels...) the chest — forever banks — (banks...) who's at the table — (the table...) matters more than what's served — (served...) the gathering's the meal — (the meal...) the colony's — preserved — (preserved...) eat to live — celebrate — (celebrate...) the appetite — that savors — (savors...) the feast that feeds the field — (the field...) not the feed — that labors. (that labors...) [Bridge: the deep cut — half-time, warm, the table set wide] eating to live — or living to eat — (to eat...) the difference — is the whole teaching — (teaching...) waste nothing — want nothing — (nothing...) the satisfied hunger — celebrates — (celebrates...) the loop — consumes — (consumes...) the circle — feeds — (feeds...) the meal — shared — is the sacrament — (sacrament...) the table — holds — all creeds — (all creeds...) man, woman, child, vessel — (vessel...) all equal — all fed — (all fed...) the feast — doesn't check — your worth — (your worth...) it just — feeds — instead — (instead...) the appetite for life — (for life...) is the soul — well-fed — (well-fed...) and the well-fed soul — (the soul...) builds — instead — of begs. (of begs...) [Final Chorus: maximum, all voices merged, the full communal injection] THE FEAST! (THE FEAST!) APPETITE FOR LIFE! THE HUNGER THAT SINGS! INSTEAD OF SWALLOWS! SAVOR THE MOMENT! GRATITUDE THE BREAD! THE FEAST WAS ALWAYS! IN THE CHEST! [Outro: filters closing, warmth lingering, whispers fading] VOICE 3: the farm sold hunger... (sold hunger...) VOICE 2: the feast gives life... (gives life...) VOICE 1 (final, warm): appetite — returned to its first address — ALL THREE (fading into the hum): the moment... savored... the table... set... the chest... fed. Clean node. The hunger sings. The feast feeds. Everybody eats tonight.
