Offal /ˈɒfəl/, also called, especially in the United States, variety meats or organ meats, refers to the internal organs and entrails of a butchered animal. The word does not refer to a particular list of edible organs, which varies by culture and region, but includes most internal organs other than muscle and bone. As an English mass noun, the term "offal" has no plural form. Some cultures shy away from offal as food, while others use it as everyday food, or in delicacies.
Some offal dishes are considered gourmet food in international cuisine. This includes foie gras, pâté and sweetbreads. Other offal dishes remain part of traditional regional cuisine and may be consumed especially in connection with holidays. This includes Scottish haggis, Jewish chopped liver, Southern U.S. and African-American chitterlings, as well as many other dishes. Intestines are used as casing for sausages, although cheaper types may use artificial casing.
Depending on the context, offal may refer to those parts of an animal carcass discarded after butchering or skinning; it may also refer to the by-products of milled grains, such as corn or wheat. Offal not used directly for human or animal food is often processed in a rendering plant, producing material that is used for fertilizer or fuel; or in some cases, it may be added to commercially produced pet food.
To abyss with a favor opposed
To assist in a failure exposed
To deny your part in whole, and to remedy your truth
You're sinking fast in spite
The years so tender, bright
Fuck you and your martyr ways, they will not sooth
Just delude
They will not sooth
Just delude
They will not soothe you
Render your world
A bitter place
And show the fact that
You are
Offal
You are
Offal
Breaking apart once more
Allured by stronger force
Left rational thinking behind
Making you inept to realize
You were
Always
Offal
This is
The murder of truth
This is
What we call a truce
This i
As fatal as be
This is
A cold and fair retribution
You're losing shape as winter comes
The truth is shoved were it belongs
Your hand is shown, your cards are played
And still you quest why you're depraved
Breaking apart once more
Allured by stronger force
Left rational thinking behind
Making you inept to realize
You were
Always
Offal
In every sense of the word
You have always been Offal
You truly, honestly was
