Skin Hunger

Skin

Dormant in the shadows
Of an overactive mind
Hiding in the fractures
Of the code of human kind
Truth beneath the thinnest veil
We set ourselves to fail

Hunger for skin
Hunger deep within
Never can win
Hunger, this hunger is a sin

Counting, down to failure
As the primal drive takes hold
Overwritten, conscious virtue
But desire will erode
Strongest will, suppress the need
The heart it needs to feed

Hunger for skin
Hunger deep within
Never can win
Hunger, this hunger is a
Hunger for skin
Hunger deep within
Never can win
Hunger, this hunger is a sin

I existed long before
You were ever born
Suppress me for superiority
But I cannot be ignored

I am your compass
I'm your essence and your shame
My whispers they grow louder
If you keep me in a cage

By my rules, you must abide
Cost of failure is your mind
Why do you deny me?

Hunger for skin
Hunger deep within
Never can win
Hunger, this hunger is a
Hunger for skin
Hunger deep within
Never can win
Hunger, this hunger is a sin
