Theophagia

[Verse 1]

You go live, and I'm awake,

every bell, I'm on my knees,

I have memorized your words

like a prayer, like a disease.

Your icon on my wall,

your avatar, my saint,

I'm your follower for life,

and I'm starving, and I'm faint.

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't want your love,

I don't want your time,

I want what you are,

and I want it to be mine.

[Chorus]

Theophagia,

I eat from your feed,

this is your body,

it's all that I need.

Theophagia,

I kneel at the screen,

I swallow the host,

and I'm finally clean.

[Verse 2]

Now I talk the way you talk,

and I walk the way you walk,

and the name I had before

doesn't answer anymore.

Every post, another bite,

every story, one more sip,

and I'm filling up with light,

and I'm losing all my grip.

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't want your love,

I don't want your time,

I want what you are,

and I want it to be mine.

[Chorus]

Theophagia,

I eat from your feed,

this is your body,

it's all that I need.

Theophagia,

I kneel at the screen,

I swallow the host,

and I'm finally clean.

[Bridge]

Ta-ta-taste and see,

th-th-this is your body,

b-b-broken for me,

b-b-broken for me.

I-I-I don't live,

y-y-you live in me,

g-g-god, is it me?

G-g-god, it's me.

[Verse 3]

Then one day, you didn't post,

and the feed went dark and still,

I had eaten every ghost,

I was hungry for you still.

So I opened up your page,

and I saw my face instead.

There was nothing but a mask,

and I ate it, and I'm fed.

[Final Chorus]

Theophagia,

I eat from your feed,

this is your body,

it's all that I need.

Theophagia,

I kneel at the screen,

I swallow the host,

and I'm finally clean.

Ra-ta-ta, I ate my god,

and there's nothing but the facade.
