Take it All of it Like dogs to a bone Tear me to pieces Leave nothing behind Keep it all to yourself And fight for the scraps Of what's left of me Cut deep Slice me open Drain out life From my open wounds Try and capture it Bottled fragments of my being Ignore the screaming I'll be silent soon enough Severe me From mine Till every limb's detached And you can have one each And maybe then be satisfied Having finally destroyed My form for your own pleasure Not enough You will find The taste of me will linger But what you have wont last Long enough to sustain the hunger You'll need more Soon enough So leave behind my bones And take to the skies In search of another weary soul Circle wide and be patient As their knees give in you will witness Their spirit escape them too

TAKE.
Take it All of it Like dogs to a bone Tear me to pieces Leave nothing behind Keep it all to yourself And fight for the scraps Of what's left of me Cut deep Slice me open Drain out life From my open wounds Try and capture it Bottled fragments of my being Ignore the screaming I'll be silent soon enough Severe me From mine Till every limb's detached And you can have one each And maybe then be satisfied Having finally destroyed My form for your own pleasure Not enough You will find The taste of me will linger But what you have wont last Long enough to sustain the hunger You'll need more Soon enough So leave behind my bones And take to the skies In search of another weary soul Circle wide and be patient As their knees give in you will witness Their spirit escape them too
