Consumed (I was never chosen)

**Verse I**

I offered my spine to your hunger

Let you eat the shape out of me

Every “maybe” you fed me

I swallowed like prophecy

I cut myself smaller

So you’d have more room to breathe

I learned how to disappear

So you’d never have to choose me

**Pre-Chorus**

You said, *“Just stay.”*

You didn’t say *“I love you.”*

So I stayed anyway

**Chorus (Heavy)**

I LET YOU USE ME

LIKE A FUCKING TOOL

I LET YOU DRAIN ME

JUST TO FEEL USEFUL

I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING

YOU GAVE ME HOPE

AND YOU STILL RAN

TO SOMEONE WHO NEVER CHOKED

**Verse II**

I memorized the weight of your silence

Learned which lies sounded like truth

I became the thing you leaned on

While you reached for someone new

I watched you soften for them

In ways you never did for me

I was the blood on your hands

They were the future you could see

**Pre-Chorus (Rising)**

I thought if I broke loud enough

You’d finally hear

But you only listen

When it’s not me screaming

**Chorus (Heavier)**

I LET YOU USE ME

UNTIL I WAS EMPTY

I LET YOU FUCKING HOLLOW ME OUT

JUST TO KEEP YOU HAPPY

I BLED LIKE IT MEANT SOMETHING

I BLED LIKE IT WAS SACRED

AND YOU STILL CHOSE

THE ONE WHO NEVER PAID SHIT

**Bridge (Ritualistic → Breakdown)**

I WOULD’VE DIED FOR YOU

(You know I would)

I WOULD’VE ROTTED IN YOUR PLACE

(You let me)

YOU LET ME THINK

THIS WAS LOVE

WHEN IT WAS JUST

CONVENIENCE

**BREAKDOWN (Screamed)**

USE

ME

TAKE

ME

LEAVE

ME

I WAS NEVER YOUR CHOICE

JUST YOUR FUCKING BACKUP

**Final Chorus (Crushing / Screamed)**

I LET YOU TAKE ME

BODY AND SOUL

I TURNED MYSELF

INTO A FUCKING HOLE

I WORSHIPPED YOU

LIKE A GOD WHO LIED

AND YOU WALKED AWAY

WITHOUT EVEN SAYING GOODBYE

**Outro (Quiet, destroyed)**

There’s nothing left in me

To offer anyone now

You didn’t break my heart

You taught me

I was never worth choosing
