Living Forever and Ever On Someone Else's Heart

Carnivores of love living in the present and past

Devouring the essence of souls and making it forever last

Swallowing  every feeling easily just like a little pill

Expelling the emotion only in order to refill

Leaving it in there mouths for later to chew like cud

Always wanting more and more to flow in there blood

Searching for a new love to slice and rip apart

Living forever and ever on someone else's heart

haunting rhythm, portraying love as something consumed rather than shared. The imagery of "devouring the essence of souls" and "chewing love like cud"
