Cannibal

Marika Hackman

Have you seen my nose?
I cut it off last night.

Let's just hope it grows I'd hate to look afraid.
As the blood runs down my chin
I love that iron taste
Could you just let me in?

I'll bandage up my face and hide away
I took a knife and stabbed out.
The light that was in our eyes
Scared the folks
In the hole of this place
With a hole in my face.

Everybody knows, gluttony's a sin
And I feel sick and gross.
Washing machine spin, a sweaty upper lip
I love that salty taste,
I'm hungry for a fix
I'm hungry for the pace of the thrill and chase.

I took a knife
And stabbed out the light
That was in our eyes
Scared the folks
In the hole of this place
With a hole in my face.
