[Verse]
An empty belly speaks no lies
It growls and twists and clouds the skies
You see the feast but taste the air
A hollow man with a hollow stare
[Prechorus]
He nods
He bows
He shakes the hand
But hunger sways where he will stand
[Chorus]
Don't take the crumbs
Don't take the crumbs
When the bread's on the shelf
And the butter runs
A man on hunger makes a poor deal
Empty stomach
No room to heal
[Verse 2]
The table's set with silver and gold
But hunger's grip
It takes its hold
He trades his dreams for fleeting peace
A silent storm that will never cease
[Bridge]
Forks may clash
But hearts should fight
For what's fair
For what's right
No feast's worth the soul you lose
Choose the hunger
Let it choose
[Chorus]
Don't take the crumbs
Don't take the crumbs
When the bread's on the shelf
And the butter runs
A man on hunger makes a poor deal
Empty stomach
No room to heal
