Hunger

These empty eyes have never known joy in life Hear God above looking down on us tossed to the side "Why do you waste the breath that I've blessed you with?" His words cut me like a knife Is it a heartbeat I feel inside? Is love what I should call the pain I hide? And as my eyes are shaken alive by emptiness I have come to call a hunger for my whole life I'm breathing, eating, empty every single day I season up my plate with the dreams I've thrown away Ah Who's behind these dead eyes? A monster at a table for two He's never full, another day consumed Ah My insides churn each time you come crying A bittersweet buffet, just keep filling up my plate This Hunger is eating me I pour another bowl of soup that's stewed In all the tears I've brewed over dreams still unchewed While reaching for the fork, we're torn apart A feast eating out of our heart Ah, acting on instinct, I'll take my tongue to eat I'm just so hungry, I slit my throat to feast With my blood to drink I swallowed every piece that's left of me, ah I've had too much to eat I've had too much to eat I vomit, eat, repeat it Where am I? I'm lost, I'm So drunken on the sound of your cries They never stop, they feed my appetite Ah I'm praying for anything to save me Come fill this heart that's gone to waste Take away my pain This Hunger is eating me My lips are bitten, seething My nails are broken, bleeding Just how many tears have left me choked and gagging? Would dying say I'm sorry Would dying say I'm sorry Just how many times have I been down this road? I've lost control! I don't know who these hands belong to anymore and I can't take it Its taken toll... its taken toll I'm so sick of using you to tame this appetite I should let you go Heartless and cold, this body is a hollow, broken bowl What do you call such a soul? Ah Ah I'm drowning in the tears that I've cried Grabbing a knife, I take another bite Ah My insides churn each time you come crying A bittersweet buffet, just keep filling up my plate This Hunger is eating me No, I've had enough Keep crying, you can't change I've had enough Keep eating, feeding your shame Behind these eyes My mind and body fight I've lost control of my life, I scream This Hunger is eating me
