Cannibal

How'd you become a cannibal?
You used to be so beautiful
Brother of mine turned animal
Tenderest heart was swallowed whole

Well did it taste good, as good as you thought?
Did you feel strong, as strong as you want?
Did it erase the ridicule?
Did it make the hollow full?

I wanna know x3
Tell me I wanna know

Do you think I could be a cannibal?
You think I could be that evil too?
Born with the blood that runs in you
Do you think I could get that sick like you?

When did you know, how long ago?
Did you feel wrong, as wrong as you are (were? want?)
Were you made or were you born?
Did you know or did you learn?

I wanna know x3
Tell me I wanna know

I wanna know that you'll show
How did it get, did it get so low?

It is no shame to feel a fool
There is no math to bountiful
You try to write the ending to
A story you thought they took from you

I wanna know x3
Tell me I wanna know

(And then something about emotions and torn up pieces and meanings, everything was peeling, etc. Sorry, it's really unclear. ENUNCIATE, JOHN.)
