Starved by The Silken Serpent

Verse 1]
Six months dry in a king-sized bed
She reached for him, he turned his head
The mirror cracked, the flowers died
And all her moans were trapped inside

Dinner for three, she played the part
Wife on paper, aching heart
But he was gone, even when home
So she found heat in skin unknown

[Pre-Chorus]
She said, “Don’t speak, just stay a while”
He kissed her scars and made her smile
Wrong by law, but right by ache
She let the silence finally break

[Chorus]
She’s starved — and he fed her flame
In the dark, she cried his name
Adopted or not, it didn’t feel fake
She needed more than he could take

She’s starved — and she came undone
Biting her lip with the loaded gun
No vows, no blood, no holy sign
Could stop her body from crossing the line

[Verse 2]
He wasn’t a boy, not anymore
She saw a man she couldn’t ignore
Touch so deep it lit her spine
He drank her pain like sacred wine

Every time, she said, “No more”
But still, she’d wait behind that door
Because he saw her, held her tight
Where her husband left her every night

[Pre-Chorus]
She knew the price, she knew the blame
But shame’s just fire wearing a name
And what he gave, she can’t unfeel
It broke the law — but it felt real

[Chorus]
She’s starved — and she burned that bed
Where cold hands never turned her red
Adopted son or second chance
She found herself in a fatal dance

She’s starved — and she doesn’t pretend
She traded guilt for lust again
And when she screams beneath the sheets
It’s not his name — it’s something sweet

[Bridge – Fuzzed Guitar Spoken Breakdown]
“He’s not yours,” they said.
But neither was her body
Or her need
Or her fire
Or her right to feel alive again.

[Final Chorus – Louder, Grittier, Exploding]
She’s starved — and she wrote her sin
In sweat and breath and trembling skin
No priest, no ring, no cross can bind
The hunger aching in her spine

She’s starved — and now she’s fed
By the son who made her feel undead
And when she howls beneath the moon
It’s not regret — it’s her own tune

[Outro – Slow Fade, Fuzzy Reverb]
She’s not proud.
She’s not pure.
She’s just…
sure.
