THE MOUTH

Verse 1

I was born with a mouth that never sleeps

A stomach like a black hole, secrets it keeps

Every heartbeat’s a countdown, every breath a debt

I feast to live, but every meal’s regret

They sat with me, laughed, shared their names

I carved their stories into ritual flames

But the hunger comes like a god with no face

And I eat what I love, then vanish their trace

Chorus

I talk to ghosts with blood on my tongue

Every friend I had, every song I sung

They fade when I feed, like I said something wrong

Is this punishment, or was I cursed all along?

Verse 2

I begged the stars for a different design

But they stitched me from bone and hunger divine

My family, my lovers, my crew, my kin

All swallowed whole when the ache begins

I build altars from teeth and names I knew

Speak to shadows like they still come through

But silence answers, cold and clean

Like I’m the villain in someone else’s dream

Bridge

I wear their memories like a crown of rot

A king of nothing, in a palace of thought

I whisper “sorry” to the void each night

But the void just growls, and I lose the fight

Final Chorus

I talk to ghosts with blood on my tongue

Every friend I had, every song I sung

They fade when I feed, like I said something wrong

Is this punishment, or was I cursed all along?

Outro

Still I speak, still I wait

Still I wonder if this is fate

Or if the hunger’s just a mask I wear

To hide the truth: that no one’s there
