Careful what you ask...

my ego, existence, and eternity rests on your whim
Are you worthy of this knowledge?
Have you the appetite to gorge from my tree of good and evil?
Can you feel how empty, or taste how hungry i am?

i'll give you distance and half a chance,
but take care not to draw my eye or bait my tongue
i'll eat you while you still breathe
and you'll never get enough
because you'll never be enough

When i see you're on the bargain menu,
i lose my appetite
i want what you can neither afford nor offer,
so i'll starve
i'll talk to you, toy with you, smother you;
because i can
and so i'll never be yours
