Lyrics

Pencils

Build a house and

Buy a car and

Find a body that’s warm

Take that pill and

Fill those arms

Until they’re tired and sore

I need this every now and then

I need this till I need again

Just when I've finally found that thing, that high, everything I was looking for

Just for a moment in time, I’m fine till the bells cry out cause I know in my core I want

More

Dress it up and

Paint it red and

Call it what you want

Hunger talks and

Hunger asks and

I cannot turn it off

It haunts me every now and then

But it holds me, till it hurts again

Just when I've finally found that thing, that high, everything I was looking for

Just for a moment in time, I’m fine till the bells cry out cause I know in my core I want

Just when I've finally found that thing, that high, everything I was looking for

Just for a moment in time, I’m fine till the bells cry out cause I know in my core I want
