feeo - Red Meat Lyrics

Red red meat
They say you are what you eat
I'm fixated on his red stained teeth
And I think to myself
Bloodied mouth
He is rich
He is rare
He is dead
Flesh is white
Cold and still
But his body's warm
And he is red

Red red meat
A stack of plates at his feet
And I watched him rise from his seat
And in spite of himself
He wipes his jaw
Dripping gore
Rings a bell
Says he wants more
Swings his head
Teeth are bared
He licks his lips
His eyes glow red

I don't need to be told about needing
A primal ache that haunts me until
My hunger becomes just a feeling
And I abstain as I always will

Red red meat
They say you are what you eat
And I glance down at my plate, empty
And I notice myself
Tired eyes
Feeble shell
Afraid of god
Afraid of hell
Iron low
Skin yellowed
Restrained and pale
But how he glows

I asked him if he'd ever tried stopping
And with a smile he turned and said to me
Sometimes what I want is not the right thing
But I'd rather be wrong and live free

He says
"You look hungry"
His fingernails are bloody
He grins
"I know what you need"
And I feel my knees grow weak
As he tears another piece
Of his red red meat
And I can hardly speak
As he passes it to me
And I eat
I eat
The red red meat
I eat
I eat
The red red meat
Red meat
Red meat
Red meat
Red
Red meat
