Lyrics

Marinating in my heart

Reflecting on deep emotions within my heart

Taking flavor from my blood

Drawing inspiration or sustenance from my own essence


Salivating at the thought

Feeling eager or excited about a particular idea or desire

Cravings i should not have sought

Longing for something that may not be beneficial or appropriate


Marinating in my mind

Engaging in deep contemplation or thought processes

Flavor that tastes best with time

Experiencing emotions or memories that improve with time


You took a scalpel to the person i was

Undergoing a transformative experience where someone has altered who I used to be

You picked and prodded at the people i love

Subjected to scrutiny and interference in the lives of those I care about

You left a mess that only you can clean up

Left in a state of chaos that only the responsible party can resolve

By falling victim to the things that you've done

Facing the consequences of one's actions and becoming a victim of their own deeds


You're not human

Acknowledging a lack of humanity in someone

and i won't treat you like one

Refusing to treat the person without humanity as if they were human


Revenge is soothing

Recognizing the satisfaction in seeking retaliation

But it'll never be enough

Realizing that revenge, while satisfying, will never be truly fulfilling


What was it like to do research with a smile

Questioning the emotional state of someone conducting research with a smile

What was it like to reap the souls of a child

Reflecting on the disturbing act of harvesting the souls of children

Your favorite tune on the tip of your tongue

Recalling a favorite tune associated with unsettling memories

Now it's my turn Josef, you sing along

Challenging someone named Josef to face the consequences of their actions


You're not human

Reiterating the recognition of the lack of humanity in someone

And i won't treat you like one

Maintaining the decision not to treat the person without humanity as if they were human


Revenge is soothing

Reaffirming the comforting aspect of seeking revenge, though acknowledging its limitations

But it'll never be enough

Emphasizing that revenge, no matter how satisfying, will never fully satisfy the desire for justice
