Feed the Beast

TV glare, my only friend

Curtains drawn, alone in my bed

This is a taste I can't ignore

I feed the guilt, craving for more

I'm empty inside, no will to be

Hunger's my comfort, my misery

Poison in my veins—| can't resist

That door's wide open—| still desist

"Maybe tomorrow, I'll change my way,"

But regret's too sweet—i choose to stay

This is my escape, my sweet retreat

Masking remorse, feeding defeat

Stuck in a cage, walls hiding the shame

Desperation's calling me by name

Drowning in my pain, I'm breaking out

Looking in the mirror, there's no way out

Poison in my veins—I can't resist

That door's wide open-but I still desist

"Maybe tomorrow, I'll change my way,"

But regret's too sweet—i choose to stay

This is my escape, my sweet retreat

Masking remorse, feeding defeat

Stuck in a cage, walls hiding the shame

Desperation's calling me by name

Drowning in my pain, I'm breaking out

Looking in the mirror, there's no way out

Poison in my veins—I can't resist

That door's wide open-but I still desist

"Maybe tomorrow, I'll change my way,"

But regret's too sweet—| choose to stay

Prisoner of hope, shackled tight

I'm feeding the beast-losing the fight

I'm digging my grave, I'm going down

What have I lived for, buried underground

Don't feed the beast

Don't let it win

It thrives on shame

Devours within

Feeds you pain

Promises peace

Every bite you take

Rips you piece by piece

I chose to stay

I chose to stay

Poison in my veins—I can't resist

That door's wide open-but I still desist

"Maybe tomorrow, I'll change my way,"

But regret's too sweet—i choose to stay

I'm feeding the beast, burying my hope

This flesh wraps around me like a rope

Trapped in this body, I cannot be free

This meaningless hunger's swallowing me

I cannot breathe, I cannot scream

I just whisper: don't feed the beast

Don't feed the beast
