[Verse 1 — low, confused]
Where… me?
Room cold.
Head wrong.
Many people sleep on floor.
No…
Not sleep.
Dead.
Who you?
Big angry man stare at me.
Other man quiet… then scream… then quiet.
Mr. Revy says, “Another one.”
Another what?
Me?
What smell?
Warm… sweet…
Blood.
Blood on floor.
Blood on shirt.
Blood everywhere.
Why mouth hurt?
Why teeth sharp?
Why stomach feel…
empty?
[Chorus — beat erupts]
EAT! EAT!
ME MUST EAT!
BLOOD ON HANDS,
BLOOD ON TEETH!
TEAR! BITE!
MEAT! MEAT!
NO MORE HUNGER,
FEED! FEED! FEED!
[Feral laughter]
MORE!
[Verse 2-Voice deepens]
One body here,
One by stair,
One more body over there.
Me crawl first.
Me taste.
Good.
Jump to next,
No time waste.
This one cold.
This one sweet.
This one got more meat to eat.
Why Mr. Obambo say,“That’s disgusting.”
You no want?
Good.
More me.
[Snarling]
Me must eat.
Eat with.
You eat?
Mr. Revy, why you say, “No”?
Then WATCH!
[Chorus]
EAT! EAT!
ME MUST EAT!
BLOOD ON HANDS,
BLOOD ON TEETH!
BONE GO CRACK,
HEART NO BEAT!
ONE BODY DONE,
THEN NEXT MEAT!
FEED! FEED! FEED!
[Verse 3]
But…
Cold meat no good now.
Hunger still here.
Need warm.
Need fresh.
Wait.
What that?
Thump…
Thump…
Thump…
Heartbeat.
Someone alive.
I smell fear.
I smell blood under skin.
Mr. Revy?
want me kill?
No.
Me no kill for you.
Me kill for ME.
Living person freeze.
Aswang smiles.
You warm.
You smell good.
Run.
Make blood move faster.
[Chorus — full frenzy]
EAT! EAT!
ME MUST EAT!
FRESH BLOOD RUN,
FRESH HEART BEAT!
CHASE! CATCH!
TEAR! FEAST!
HUNGER TALK,
HUNGER LEAD!
BLOOD ON WALL!
BLOOD ON TEETH!
MORE! MORE!
ME MUST EAT!
[Music abruptly stops]

More people outside.
[Growling laugh]
MORE MEAT
