Hungry

I did what I was supposed to do I knew the rules and I played along Beloved in my mother's eye Bringer of life like a morning song But the ground opened up and I fell With no promise of saving For the price of a simple desire Is the burden of waiting I wanted, I wanted How can I explain The depth of my longing To scream out my pain Oh but language, it fails me I don't know how to say All I am is hungry, hungry I learned to settle just for crumbs I held my tongue and I played along The rage always beneath my skin Keeping it in just to prove them wrong But the ground opened up and I fell Into a fire unending Had to choose, do I succumb to the flames Or let the fire create me I wanted, I wanted How can I explain The depth of my outrage My fury and shame Oh but language, it fails me And I can't even name All I am is hungry, hungry All I am is hungry I feel her seething, clawing her way out Voracious and desperate to be unbound You can claims she isn't there And you can say it isn't right But you'll never sate her appetite All I am is hungry, hungry All I am is hungry, hungry All I am is hungry, hungry All I am is hungry
