Glutton For Punishment
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Gorged with questions so I can't decide
It's like I've got to get my share just to stay alive
Seems so useless trying to make believe
Who the hell am I? It's myself I deceive
My stomach is full with unbelievable guilt
Cannot describe what diverts my will
Hungry for the thing that starves my growth
I can't say yes, I can't say no
Meal of indecision
Something I can't digest
Eat myself to pieces
By punishment, I am possessed
No one understands this selfless fear
They're blind to what I see so clear
With this vision I witness those who die
Can't control this raging appetite
Torn between pity and greed
Rotten muscle my teeth will sink
Burdens I'd deny and leave unfed
Yet saving myself brings on my own bloodshed
Consuming that which consumes me
To the point my body's filled
Erratically glut like an animal
And carelessly escape has spilled
Always forced into my throat
Never a chance to fast
Bloated with a blistering
Each bite I pray to be my last
Gorged with questions so I can't decide
It's like I've got to get my share just to stay alive
Seems so useless trying to make believe
Who the hell am I? It's myself I deceive
Meal of indecision
Something I can't digest
Eat myself to pieces
By punishment, I am possessed
