my skin exposed to show a tattoo on my thigh
a serpent or a snake weaving through grasses high
with flowers all ripped out, we wanted them all gone
and under stormy clouds you laid out on the lawn
that i had now become, the fruit trees dry and bare
what once was lush and green had only dead things there
banished at the gate or burned up at the stake
we went our separate ways, apples were all i ate
so baby now i’m hungry, so hungry
i swear to god i’m starving, i’m starving
my body is a temple, a temple
of idols that i’m carving, i’m carving
i was feasting on the wine and bread
i let it all go to my head
and now my skin is pale and white
i’ve lost my appetite
i guess i could confess to all that i’ve done wrong
but you already know, my name is on your palm
and when you fall asleep i’ll cut off all your hair
because i cannot take it to see you lying there
cause i know that you don’t dream, you never were the type
i’d lay beside you breathing so shallow and so light
and when we fell apart i lost more than just pounds
it was slipping my fingers, no i couldn't keep it down
so baby now i’m hungry, so hungry
i swear to god i’m starving, i’m starving
my body is a temple, a temple
of idols that i’m carving, i’m carving
i was feasting on the wine and bread
i let it all go to my head
and now my skin is pale and white
i’ve lost my appetite
