Run desire, run, sexual being
Run him like a blade to and through the heart
No conscience, one motive
To cater to the hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
And temporarily pacify this hungering

So grow, libido, throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around, in cycles, in circles
Constantly consuming
Conquer and devour

'Cause it's time to bring the fire down
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify
And permanently fill this hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying

Feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying

    This song reminds me of my ex boyfriend Matt. He is a big APC fan and when I heard this song, I was shocked at how much it reminded me of him. I think it is weird, that this song was not only performed but written by a man. To me, this song seems like it would have come from a females perspective. I guess, I am just saying that because I am a woman and it relates to me so much...oh well, I think the important thing is that people take from it what they may and use it to help themselves. I am glad, even though this may not have been the intention of the song, that a man, can seem to say that sex is used as a means of fullfilment and it shouldn't be. I wish that I could send these lyrics to Matt, maybe he'd learn something...
