(Verse 1)
I woke with a knife in the crook of my bed
Whispers of wolves still howling in my head
Moonlight dripped like blood on the floor
And my stomach cried out for more
I tried to feast on bread and wine
But nothing filled this void of mine
It’s not the food, it’s not the flame
It’s something feral I can’t tame
(Pre chorus)
Oh, Mama said don't wander late
But I was born to bite the bait
I crave the scent, the sin, the skin
A hunger deep beneath my grin
(Chorus)
Hunger, hunger, you wear my name
You dance in silk, but burn like flame
Teeth like lace and breath like sin
Let the wicked supper begin
I'm starved, I’m raw, I’m death in bloom
I hum my hunger like a tune
I’ll find you when the lights go dim
And feed my ache — limb by limb
(Verse 2)
The trees all whisper, "She’s awake"
The hollow thumps the path I take
My eyes have dried from nights unfed
Now dreams taste sweet like cherry red
I kissed the butcher’s only son
Now he don’t speak — nor anyone
The town locked doors, they rang the bell
But hunger knows its way through hell
(Pre chorus)
I never prayed, I never begged
But I’ve knelt with blood upon my legs
The ache, it sings, a lullaby
Of every feast I’m yet to try
(Chorus)
Hunger, hunger, you wear my name
You dance in silk, but burn like flame
Teeth like lace and breath like sin
Let the wicked supper begin
I'm starved, I’m raw, I’m death in bloom
I hum my hunger like a tune
I’ll find you when the lights go dim
And feed my ache — limb by
(Bridge)
You thought it was love
But darling, it’s need
You opened your heart
Now watch it bleed
I don’t want gold
I don’t want grace
Just the marrow warm
And the look on your face
(Breakdown)
Knife in hand, lips like prayer
I’m not alone — I’m never there
I wear my hunger like a crown
And I won’t stop until you’re down
(Final chorus)
Hunger, hunger, you wear my name
You carved it deep and left no shame
From bone to soul, I’ll tear right through
‘Cause darling — I was born to chew
I'm starved, I’m raw, I’m death in bloom
I hum my hunger like a tune
You’ll feel me in the silent hymn
When night arrives… limb by limb
(Outro)
No sleep, no light, no savior near
Just hunger humming in your ear...
