Huger

(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...
