Music begins with a soft, clean guitar melody, like the opening of "The Show Must Go On, Pt. 1." A faint stomach rumble can be heard.)
(Intro - Spoken Word)
The sun has set. The kitchen light hums a low, lonely tune.
It starts again... the gnawing void. What am I to do? The options... they're endless, a labyrinth of flavor and regret.
(Verse 1 - Clean Vocals, gradually becoming more strained)
The screen glows bright, a portal to a thousand different meals
But every choice just magnifies the agony I feel
Should it be tacos? Or the pasta from last night?
Each possibility just fuels this desperate fight!
The pantry door is open, a graveyard of good intent
Bags of chips and faded hopes, on sustenance I'm spent!
(Chorus - Soaring Clean Vocals, layered harmonies)
My stomach screams in anguish, a guttural, hollow plea!
This culinary indecision makes a monster out of me!
Just give me a sign, a simple path to take
Before my sanity and willpower start to break!
I just can't eat on like this anymore!
(Verse 2 - Harsh, Screamed Vocals)
THE CHICKEN'S STILL FROZEN, THE PIZZA DOUGH IS OLD!
A STORY OF EXPIRATION, TRAGIC AND UNTOLD!
I'M STARING AT THE APPS, MY THUMB IS PARALYZED!
BY EVERY SINGLE OPTION THAT MY HUNGER HAS DEVISED!
I'VE WASTED HALF AN HOUR IN THIS HORRIFIC STATE!
A VICTIM OF MY PALATE, SEALING MY OWN FATE!
(Chorus - Soaring Clean Vocals, layered harmonies)
My stomach screams in anguish, a guttural, hollow plea!
This culinary indecision makes a monster out of me!
Just give me a sign, a simple path to take
Before my sanity and willpower start to break!
I just can't eat on like this anymore!
(Bridge - Spoken word, whispered and intense, over a quiet, tense guitar line)
The fridge light is a spotlight on my shame. The wilting lettuce, the questionable jam... they're all witnesses. Judging me. I could just close my eyes and point. What's the worst that could happen? A culinary disaster? At this point, it would be a relief.
(Heavy, chugging guitar breakdown with intense, layered screams)
GIVE ME ANYTHING!
A CRUST OF BREAD, A SPOONFUL OF REGRET!
IS THIS IT? IS THIS THE MEAL I GET?
I'VE LOST THE WILL! THE HUNGER HAS DEVOURED MY SOUL!
THIS EMPTY STOMACH HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL!
(Guitar Solo - Melodic and technical, conveying a sense of frantic resolution)
(Chorus - Vocals are desperate, almost crying, with full band force)
My stomach screams in anguish, a guttural, hollow plea!
This culinary indecision makes a monster out of me!
Just give me a sign, a simple path to take
Before my sanity and willpower start to break!
I just can't eat on like this anymore!
(Outro - Music cuts abruptly. A sigh of defeat is heard, followed by the sound of a cereal box shaking and milk pouring into a bowl.)
(Spoken, resigned)
Fine. Cereal. Again.
(The sound of a single, sad crunch, which then fades to silence.)
