Do you thirst for revenge, or do you hunger for it?
Does it fill you with burning desire, or parched desperation?
Is it an empty feeling, a feeling of agony knowing that what you need has been robbed from you,
Or is it ravenous, like there's too much darkness in your chest, and not enough sustenance to keep it at bay?
Do you cry when others wrong you, or do you rage?
Do you search your whole life for reconciliation that will never replace the hurt
Or lie down and accept that a piece of you has been carved out, and you will never cease to feel the emptiness?
Does it fuel you? Do you become like a vicious animal, stopping at nothing to acquire that fuel that is rage, that rage that only disguises heartbreak,
Or does it weaken you, leaving you crumpled on the floor, fantasizing about righteousness that will never come?
Do you thirst for revenge, or do you hunger for it?

Do you thirst for revenge, or do you hunger for it?
Does it fill you with burning desire, or parched desperation?
Is it an empty feeling, a feeling of agony knowing that what you need has been robbed from you,
Or is it ravenous, like there's too much darkness in your chest, and not enough sustenance to keep it at bay?
Do you cry when others wrong you, or do you rage?
Do you search your whole life for reconciliation that will never replace the hurt
Or lie down and accept that a piece of you has been carved out, and you will never cease to feel the emptiness?
Does it fuel you? Do you become like a vicious animal, stopping at nothing to acquire that fuel that is rage, that rage that only disguises heartbreak,
Or does it weaken you, leaving you crumpled on the floor, fantasizing about righteousness that will never come?
Do you thirst for revenge, or do you hunger for it?
