Big Starving Thing

next song >

I want my words to eat me

Like a big starving thing

To eat my bones, my skin, my hair,

Until there's nothing left to see

Only my words

Only my words will be left of me


Still hungry! Every night when you seek sleep

They'll thunder through your window

Just when you think you're alone

You'll hear my words looking for something good to eat

Something good to eat.


You'll forget my face like

The victims of serial killers you've seen on the news

But you won't

Forget my words like

The photos of serial killers you're seen on the news


I want my words to eat me

Like a big starving thing

And lying dying in their jaws

I'll hear the sweet singing

Of my words singing me to my eternal sleep.
