Lyrics
I’m a Cake Eater
[Intro]
Breathe in the breath.
Take it in.
Breathe it out.
Breathe in.
Let it go.
Let it.
Let it.
Still… it lingers.
[Verse 1]
It’s like mud, layer on layer,
caked onto my sagging heart.
Heavy.
Clinging.
Because if I feel it,
it might swallow me first.
So I should stuff it down.
If I swallow it whole,
I can stuff it down.
Down, down,
to the very pit
of my being.
[Bridge — inquiry]
But wait—
the pit asks a question.
Is it a feeling,
or a familiar weight?
Do I need it,
or does it need me?
[Pre-chorus]
I’m searching for lightness
while lingering in the shadows.
So bring light to the pit.
Let it crack open.
[Chorus]
And then I notice something strange—
I’m not swallowing it whole.
I’m eating it.
I’m a cake eater.
Just the dust.
Just the crumbs.
I’m a cake eater.
[Verse 2]
Not swallowing the dark all at once,
not pretending the plate is empty.
Just noticing the crumbs—
small, gritty, real—
picked up one at a time.
[Outro]
This body… it gets heavy.
But maybe freedom
isn’t throwing the cake away.
Maybe it’s learning
how to eat the dust.
(repeat, fading)
I’m a cake eater.
Just the dust.
Just the dust.
