The Hunger Ballad

Cigarette ashes scattered around you Drinking till the sky is light blue Violet bruises of every battle Make you a universe Hidden in plain sight And videogames highlight Your eyebags The sounds of Vice City Cover up the rumbles Of a stomach ignored for far too long And I wish I could have been there To fill up your heart Breaking apart There are no heroes for the hungry ones Please just Hold on Be your own saviour when the morning comes High bike rides by the iron bridge Laughing about how Morrissey would hate this Monster cans and coffee cups Dancing in the dark Making out And then throwing up If you could you'd take Christie Road and run away You'd find out Who you are and numb all this pain Breaking apart There are no heroes for the hungry ones Please just Hold on Be your own saviour when the morning comes And if you feel alone Remember we were All alone together Painting our nails black Breaking apart There are no heroes for the hungry ones Please just Hold on Be your own saviour when the morning comes Please just Rise up You're your own saviour when the morning comes
