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.
