Shell

(album: Ashen - 2023)

You're a shell
Inside of you, nothingness
Nothingness
You can't tell
This insatiable hunger
You can't quell

Always yearning
A constant need to fulfill
Hollow and empty
A spirit, famished
But an unappeasable appetite
Appetite

Always yearning
Hollow and empty

Atop your pile, sitting
Pedestal of rapacity
Remnants of your devouring
Monument of depravity
Depravity

Always yearning
Hollow and empty

Leech, unable to exist
Independently off the life upon which you feed

You're a shell
Inside of you, nothingness
You can't tell
This insatiable hunger
You can't quell
You're a shell
Inside of you, nothingness
Nothingness
You can't tell
This insatiable hunger
You can't quell

Behold the consumed, consuming
A slow death through starvation
You're a shell

You're a shell
Inside of you, nothingness
Nothingness
You can't tell
This insatiable hunger
You can't quell
