Cannibal

I can still taste you, and I hate it That wasn't a choice in the mind of a child and you knew it You took the first slice of me and you ate it raw Ripped at it with your teeth and your lips like a cannibal You fuckin' animal I can still taste you, and it kills me That there's still some sick part of it that thrills me That my own body keeps betraying me There is such power there, it may destroy me But it compels me Of course I deny it, can hardly believe it Dismiss or demean it 'cause I know I can't speak it But when I began to tell it became the hardest thing I ever said out loud The words got locked in my throat Man, I choked And this is what it feels like to be free Even though it follows back down Stares into the dark with me Even then I deny it, can hardly believe it Dismiss or demean it, but I know I must speak it If I could forgive you now Release you from all of the blame I know how If I could forgive you now As if saying the words Will help me know how To begin again Help me know how To begin Help me know how To begin again Help me know how To begin again Begin again
