I Apologize for My Hunger
Kill the Man Who Questions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I apologize for my hunger, for my inability to relate to your world of inconvenience and hassle when my world fits in a shopping cart. I apologize for my hunger, taking form in an open palm. For staling appetites and ruining Christmas, I apologize. I apologize for my hunger, my refusal to let self starve. For my stubbornness in simply existing and daring to be a human being. For an apology--A Red rose on your pillow and a shit on your carpet. Oh! Thanks for the charity, fuckers.
