Timeless

[Chorus]

I’m starving

I’m starving!

Starving, shining

And break from the sky

[Outro]

You know, have you forgot?

Come on, you’re forcing me into the ocean

Strangling, come set me free

I find it hard, I’ll give you a point, yeah

I said I just wake up and find myself

It is the morning, just comes all apart

In my hands, scattered across, hanging on

Starving, everyone is leaving me

Just walking alone, for long

Was it lying?

I'm starving!
