Catacombs at Baltimore (Doctor Hannibal Lecter)

Doctor Hannibal Lecter

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your cortex fires like constellations burning bright,
Each synapse crackling with a lover's appetite,
You taste the world through dopamine and brilliant thought,
A predator with appetites that can't be caught,
Your neurons dance in patterns I can't resist or break.

[Chorus]
You are the hunger that I cannot fight,
The amygdala screaming through the night,
Your intellect devours me completely whole,
You've wired yourself directly to my soul.
You are the hunger that I cannot fight,
The amygdala screaming through the night,
Your intellect devours me completely whole,
You've wired yourself directly to my soul.

[Verse 2]
Your mirror neurons understand desire's design,
The way you move, the way you make me feel divine,
Your prefrontal cortex calculating every move,
A brilliant feast—there's nothing left to prove,
In every thought, you rewire what I am inside.

[Bridge]
In your gaze, the neural pathways light,
A feast of love conducted with such might,
Your hunger mirrors what burns inside of me,
A symphony of neurons wild and free,
The signals fire in colors I have never known,
Your brilliance makes this hunger feel like home.

[Chorus]
You are the hunger that I cannot fight,
The amygdala screaming through the night,
Your intellect devours me completely whole,
You've wired yourself directly to my soul.
You are the hunger that I cannot fight,
The amygdala screaming through the night,
Your intellect devours me completely whole,
You've wired yourself directly to my soul.

[Outro]
The feast continues as we intertwine,
Your appetite meets hunger so divine,
The feast—our love—will never, ever end.
