Taking all of my hunger In the palm of my hand I carry it with me From the sea to the sand . I curl every finger To a fist in my gut Feeding it anger and Sadness and glut . The more that I fed her The more Hunger grew Seeking and wanting Far more than I knew . The bigger she got The more her bite stung Until all left of me Was teeth, blood and tongue . And all that I ate Turned right to dust I desired no food But wanted to lust . I wanted to crave I sought to suffer Because that state was easy But living was rougher

Hunger
Taking all of my hunger In the palm of my hand I carry it with me From the sea to the sand . I curl every finger To a fist in my gut Feeding it anger and Sadness and glut . The more that I fed her The more Hunger grew Seeking and wanting Far more than I knew . The bigger she got The more her bite stung Until all left of me Was teeth, blood and tongue . And all that I ate Turned right to dust I desired no food But wanted to lust . I wanted to crave I sought to suffer Because that state was easy But living was rougher
