Cannibal
The jagged teeth in my flesh,
is this what you did to the rest?
**** and twist till my flesh tears,
grab and pull out all my hair.
A cannibal, you rip me to pieces,
and I'm here hoping the pain ceases.
Dig deep into my chest till you find a heart,
pull it out and take it apart.
You're an animal, a cannibal at heart,
tearing apart poor souls,
and swallowing them whole.
Reach deep into my chest and squeeze,
grab my lungs and make me breathe.
Rip out my organs and rearrange them,
then send me on my way.
Send me far away,
far from home.
Somewhere to roam,
and be alone.
Don't let me see your pretty face again,
I might rip it off.
How much did it cost,
the mask you wear?
You're an animal, a cannibal at heart,
tearing apart poor souls,
and swallowing them whole.
