"Hunger" lyrics
"Hunger"
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

Hozier - "Like Real People Do" I had a thought, dear
However scary
About that night
The bugs and the dirt
Why were you digging?
What did you bury
Before those hands pulled me
From the earth?
I will not ask you where you came...
Metric - "The Shade" I'm following the sun
That's setting in the West
We're floating on a bed of fading lights
A canopy of trees
Bears witness to the breeze
I'm falling like a feather, soft and light
Baby, there's no...
Young The Giant - "Cough Syrup" Life's too short to even care at all
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum

Ingrid Michaelson - "Over You" Over, I'm so over you
The way that you look in a three-piece suit
Over, I'm so over you
The way that you held me when nobody else would
Maybe if I tell myself enough
Maybe if I do
I'll get over you...
Zella Day - "Compass" We can build a tree house in the pine trees
We can keep our secrets buried underneath
Wild flowers crash between your fingers
Clinging to the wild things that raised us
Compass points you home,...
