Consuming Life

The pain in your soul becomes pain in your chest
As someone dies unnaturally
Because they cheated on their test
Forgetting the past because it hurts so much
It hurts so much and we laugh
It hurts so much it embarrasses us
And we laugh
Someone knows you’re lying
And your pride bites back
But you feel there’s something lacking still
Consuming life in other ways
Consiming life in abstract ways
Consuming life until it’s gone away
Feel there’s something lacking still
Consuming life in other ways
Consuming knowledge in painful ways
Consuming life until it’s gone away
Gone away
