Carnivore

So much space can fit in a sigh
More than words can say
I'm left here with my hands all awkward
Trying to mend space
I used to know you
But not anymore
Your substance has been subtracted
Word by word


Silence in my ears
Where once you offered your conviction
Your promises are dry beads

But, that's all right
That's okay
Had no business giving myself to you anyway
Be careful next time for sure
And I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
To a Carnivore

Your soul is an ink stain
Your perfection is a mend
You're as fragile as your thoughtlessness
As strong as you can bend
You could only believe in embryos
Held all your high hopes through a telescope
And lavender haunted you
So I could only laugh in yellow

You have a fire down in genius, subtlety
And you slip through the fingers of ambiguity


Well, that's all right
That's okay
Had no business giving myself to you anyway
Be careful next time for sure
And I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
To a Carnivore

I did it before
But I don't think I'll do it again
Next time I won't hunger for this thing
I take back my songs and my poetry
This time I won't be too easy to read
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart
To a carnivore
