11. INDULGER (Lust/Strength) — Lyrics

Sneak peak the album as it’s being written. Some songs streaming, the rest wait until April.

Crow says:
Are you riding the Beast?
Or is the Beast riding you?

LUST (Strength) REVERSED

Intro

The Lion paces the pantry.
I decorate the plate.
Creation waits at the gate.
I pour another excuse.

Indulger is me.

Chorus

Open the fridge.
(Open the fridge.)
Fill my mouth so I don’t open it.
Indulger —
Butter the ache —
Desire keeps knocking.
Indulger —
Indulger…

Verse

I feed what feels empty.
Desire searches for reassurance.
Relief tastes instant.
I chase the charge.
Skip calibration.
Immediate over meaningful.
Satisfaction slips.

I reward myself for surviving —
and postpone thriving.

I eat so I don’t erupt.
Watch so I don’t act.
Buy so I don’t build.
Scroll so I don’t speak.

I stay full…
and feel empty.

Crow says:
Are you riding the Beast?
Or is the Beast riding you?

Pre-Chorus

Indulger grazing.
Pour another cup.
Another episode —
never quite enough.

Chorus

Open the fridge.
(Open the fridge.)
Fill my mouth so I don’t open it.
Indulger —
Butter the ache —
Desire keeps knocking.
Indulger —
Indulger…

Bridge

Indulgence numbs eruption.
I hide the evidence in wrappers.
Direction sharpens desire.
Lust feeds creation.

Pre-Chorus

Indulger grazing.
Pour another cup.
Another episode —
never quite enough.

Chorus

Open the fridge.
(Open the fridge.)
Fill my mouth so I don’t open it.
Indulger —
Butter the ache —
Desire keeps knocking.
Indulger —
Indulger…

Outro

I soothe myself differently now.

Crow says:
Feed what you wish to become.

Desire enters the body.
The Beast kneels.
I mount.

We move as one.
