I got a hunger

 pit deep bone deep soul deep

i try to kill it with food but it doesn't want to eat

it wants to satiate itself by consuming me like fire

is this why they call it a burning desire?

i've got a hunger to be used, like fuel to a flame

and in the ashes, find out what stays the same

i'm hungry but don't feed me, i don't want to be full

i'm hungry to be whetted so my blade won't dull

and use it to slice me and feed the soil of the earth

eat me to feed me, to my soul give birth
