[Intro]

(Low, distorted bass thrum)

(Sound of a lighter flicking)

[Verse 1]

Small talk is just the appetizer

I’m reading lines behind your eyes

You’re pouring wine, I’m pouring tea

But you’re the one who’s feeding me

I like the way your pulse behaves

A steady beat for what I crave

[Pre-Chorus]

Don’t look for mercy in the dark

I only want the glowing spark

I’ll take the marrow, leave the bone

I’ve never liked to eat alone

[Chorus]

I’m a predator of the heart

I pick the purest pulse apart

A hollow chest, a heavy debt

I haven't filled the vacuum yet

Love is just a calorie count

I’m climbing up the total amount

Sweet devotion, bitter skin

Let the feast begin

[Verse 2]

You offer up your Sunday best

A heavy head upon my chest

I’m memorizing every flaw

To find the soft spot for the claw

You call it "us," I call it "fuel"

The laws of gravity are cruel

[Bridge]

(Tempo slows, stripped back)

It’s not malice, it’s just physics

I don’t care for your statistics

Empty spaces need a tenant

I’m the crime and I’m the penance

(Building intensity)

I’m still hungry!

I’m still starving!

[Guitar Solo]

(Aggressive, jagged blues-rock riff)

[Chorus]

I’m a predator of the heart

I pick the purest pulse apart

A hollow chest, a heavy debt

I haven't filled the vacuum yet

Love is just a calorie count

I’m climbing up the total amount

Sweet devotion, bitter skin

Let the feast begin

[Outro]

Check the bill, pay the price

Lightning never strikes it twice

Sleep now, darling, close your eyes

I’m already in disguise

(Fade out with a rhythmic heartbeat)
