Hunger lyrics

[Verse 1]

You are right, I'll move on

But my lungs feel so small

I couldn't breathe if I tried

I lay my head on the floor

My beating heart wanted more

But I'll keep it in and keep you out

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

[Verse 2]

And for the longest time I knew

There was nothing left for us to do

But I tried, oh, I try

And in this quiet company

There is nothing staring back at me

I'm in need of a sound

[Chorus]

Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you

Voices disappear when you are speaking in sombre tunes

I will be the wolf and when you're starving, you'll need it too

Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you

It isn't you, it isn't

[Bridge]

I grew tall to fill the void

Let me go because you are just a shade

Of what I am, not what I'll be

But in this quiet company

I forget sometimes just how to breathe

Fill my lungs with the sound

[Chorus]

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

I'm drowning, I'm drowning
