Silly boy
No one needs to hear your words
Let it go
[Chorus]
Carnivore, carnivore
Won't you come digest me?
Take away everything I am
Bring it to an end
Make me fall, make me bleed
Go ahead and change me
Take away everything I am
Everything I am
[Bridge]

(Who I am)
[Chorus]
Carnivore, carnivore
Won't you come digest me?
Take away everything I am
Bring it to an end
Carnivore, carnivore
Could you come and change me?
Take away everything I am
Everything I am
