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.
