[Intro – 0:00 | Whispered / Clean Guitar / 6 8 timing]
(Ethereal pads + clean delay guitar + soft whispered male vocal)
I’ve bitten back the dawn again,
Teeth against the trembling skin of sin.
The mirror hums — a hollow prayer,
And I am still the ghost that lingers there.
---
[Verse 1 – 0:45 | Low bass + clean drums]
There’s a hunger that sleeps behind my ribs,
It dreams of touch — but never forgives.
Every voice is a wound I taste,
Every heartbeat — a holy waste.
I built a temple out of shame,
Prayed to the silence that carried your name.
And the walls still breathe when I close my eyes,
Whispering “feed me, keep me alive.”
---
[Pre-Chorus – 1:45 | Half-time groove / tight kick / vocal layers]
I am the vessel, I am the curse,
Bound by the flesh I’ve come to serve.
---
[Chorus – 2:10 | Full band / distorted guitars + soaring vocals]
I want to be known, but not revealed,
I want to be held, but never healed.
This craving turns communion to crime —
I drink the ache, I call it divine.
---
[Bridge 1 – 3:00 | Tempo shift 7 8 / bass groove / spoken growl vocals]
Inside this fevered, fractured skin,
The love I seek devours within.
Each breath a knife, each thought a cage,
A choir of hunger singing my rage.
---
[Falsetto Bridge – 4:00 | Soft keys + ethereal reverb / clean guitar / angelic male falsetto]
Oh, take this soul, it’s starving clean,
Between your ribs I’ll find my dream.
Love me once and turn to dust —
I fade in faith, I fade in trust.
(Echo “trust… trust… trust…”)
---
[Bridge 2 – 5:00 | Drop-D guitar / Tool-style syncopation / growl + melodic counter]
Tear out the tongue that speaks my name,
Feed it to the dark, absolve the shame.
I am the saint of starving desire,
A martyr drowned in his own fire.
---
[Final Chorus – 6:00 | Massive swell / choir backing + layered vocals]
I want to be known, but not revealed,
I want to be held, but never healed.
I crave the light that burns my sight —
Love me once, then end the night.
---
[Outro – 6:45 | Minimal piano / whispered vocal close]
If hunger is holy…
Then let me starve for you.
I am not satisfied
Until you devour me too
