Universe Eater

Intro

(distorted whisper, low pulse)

Got my god complex on high…

Take a look behind the eyes…

⸻

Verse 1

Got my god complex on high

Egotistical, am I?

Underneath the flesh I’m not much like them

Take a look behind the eyes

Feel the hunger on the rise

Call me cynical or damned, I won’t deny it

Every person that you meet thinks you’re crazy

They don’t wanna know you till they do

They don’t notice that you’re slowly draining

While I’m filling up my chalice with the truth

Partaking in the sins of flesh

Making love to death

Carve my targets to the bone

Dip my fingers in their blood

Selfish eater, yeah I know

I don’t fight the overflow

I was born to tear apart

What I crave, what I love

⸻

Pre-Chorus

In my bones, I feel the world is sickening

Do they know their pride is what’s imprisoning

Their very souls?

Would I even try to save

Their humanity—

Or let it go?

⸻

Chorus

I’m gonna be bad like you

Watch ’em run into the panic room

I’m gonna be d-d-d dangerous

Just like you

I’m gonna drain hearts like you

Leave ’em screaming in the dark, it’s true

I don’t care what you think

You die anyway

Love to love them

But I love to hate them

Yeah, I hate to love them

I’m the universe eater

⸻

Verse 2

You know how to make your followers obsessive

Like a cult the way they worship you

Power tastes so sweet, it’s so addictive

Fill your coffers while they bleed for you

I don’t care about what you think

Never did, never will

I don’t bow, I don’t blink

I’m my own creator still

Couldn’t stop me if you tried

Never once have I complied

To the barking voice of man

I decide who lives, who dies

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

In my soul, I feel a longing to be like them

But I’m far beyond their fragile tolerance

And I know

The only thing we share at all

Is decay

⸻

Drop / Chorus 2

I’m gonna be bad like you

Watch ’em run into the panic room

I’m gonna be d-d-d dangerous

Just like you

I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t

I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t

Say my name like a prayer

While the world starts to choke

⸻

Bridge

Fill up your chalice with their love

Bathe in trust until it’s gone

They call it faith, I call it food

I wear their sins like a crown

If I’m a monster, let me be

If I’m a god, then kneel for me

I tried to feel what they call “right”

But hunger feels more real at night

⸻

Final Chorus / Outro

I’m gonna be bad like you

Watch ’em run into the panic room

I’m gonna be d-d-d dangerous

Just like you

I don’t care what you think

I don’t care, I don’t care

I don’t care what you think

You die anyway

(echoing chant)

I am the universe eater

I am the universe eater

I am the universe eater

(beat cuts — distorted breath)

Just let it be.
