hunger

Singer: of monsters and men

you were right

i'll move on

but my lungs feel so small

i couldn't breathe if i tried

i lay my head on the floor

my beating heart wanted more

but i'll keep it in and keep you out

i'm drowning

i'm drowning

i'm drowning

i'm drowning

and for the longest time i knew

there was nothing left for us to do

but i tried

oh

i try

and in this quiet company

there is nothing staring back at me

i'm in need of the sound

hungry for the kill

but this hunger

it isn't you

voices disappear when you are speaking

in somber tunes

i will be the wolf and when you're starving

you'll need it too

hungry for the kill

but this hunger

it isn't you

it isn't you

it isn't

and i grow tall to fill the void

let me go 'cause you are just a shade

of what i am

not what i'll be

but in this quiet company

i forget sometimes just how to breathe

fill my lungs with the sound

hungry for the kill

but this hunger

it isn't you

voices disappear when you are speaking

in somber tunes

i will be the wolf and when you're starving

you'll need it too

hungry for the kill

but this hunger

it isn't you

it isn't you

it isn't

i'm drowning

i'm drowning

i'm drowning

i'm drowning

i'm drowning

i'm drowning

i'm drowning

i'm drowning
