built from liquids & bones by people you meet outside of bars

we're only built for pity
not to receive love
skulking 'round a city
we'll never be part of

machines built for excess
programmed to need more
an oily, sparking abscess
leaking on the floor

have you ever felt the hunger?
the kind that won't subside?
a deep & tireless hunger gnawing away at your insides

who would build a monster?
who'd dig up these parts?
who'd flip the switch to on for
a hyperactive heart?

have you ever felt the panic?
the certainty you'll die?
a dark, unfounded panic-- an empty hole in your insides

archetypal creatures
effigies for pain
late night double features
every one the same

only built for fury
not to receive care
to stand before a jury
who doesn't see us there

have you ever felt the fire?
the flames that only rise?
a wild & untamed fire eating a hole through your insides

have you ever felt the hunger?
have you ever felt the hunger?
have you ever felt the hunger?
