Cannibal Cannon: Forbidden Fruit

   
Something behind my eyes reminds me of when i was a little bit darker  
Something at the base of my spine reminds of when i killed for blood  
Pressing my intentions pushing my desire beyond simplicity of necessity  
Mechanical automation in habitual ritual stoking the pyre of my inner maelstrom  
   
Forbidden Fruit Forbidden Fruit, tainted germination, rotten & shriveled root  
Forbidden Fruit Forbidden Fruit, demons giving chase, twisted deities in pursuit  
   
Overcome by a forbidden passion for the taste of human flesh  
No way to pinpoint the source of overwhelming need; my inexorable vex  
Impossible to define within my diluted medicated morbid dementia  
The only tangible mental aspect is my foreboding lust for warm plasma  
A deep desire, a craving for savory uncoiled strands of protein  
Introspection inconclusive... Just what does it all mean?  
The instinctual urge to sink my bloody teeth deep beneath  
Layers of cooling flesh & rent asunder the feeding meat  
To slowly digest a recently deceased living spark  
Departed from the recently animate & ripped brutally apart  
The power of the shift of the presence of the fabled soul  
Leaving an empty carcass for a dark mastication goal  
Morbid reality of infernally cannibalistic criminality  
Lost morality amid uncontrollable compulsions inside me  
The darkness of my thirsty hunger now overshadows  
Any lingering light of self restraint into hopeless hallows  
   
I never asked for this curse of appetite of some monster or fiend  
But give me just one taste & within seconds I'll be chewing your spleen  
Attempted self control met with a heavier burden of deepened hunger  
Once that metallic ooze coats my palette reason is dragged under  
Upon your dreams my nightmares overshadow, consume & plunder  
To release me onto this world was the universe's greatest blunder  
Now saturated in darkness my thirsty hunger begins to fester  
Forever feeding insatiably as the grim reaper's personal jester  
   
The intoxication from the fresh cortisol, adrenaline & pheromones  
Led me to consume all soft tissue picked clean from every bone  
Until all that remains is a raw naked skeleton & the memory of what was  
Disassociation from empathy, sense of self preservation forever lost  
Inebriated by the odor filling my nose I salivate anticipating the flavor  
Eviscerate your epidermis quick but your brain I'll take my time to savor  
Berated by purity, ostracized by sanity, shunned by typical common sense  
No analytical process can deduce the cause of my abnormalities immense  
I wait hiding in shadows for my next victim - the source of my next meal  
Seduce them by stroking their ego with promises of wealth, gain & even sex appeal  
Think of me however you will regardless of what filter you choose to look through  
But don't be so quick to judge me when tonight upon my dinner plate I find you!
