Hunger

"This song was never meant to be a song it was a poem written in an effort to understand the ways I looked for love in things that were not love. I was never thinking it would be a song but maybe that's the point. And by singing it out loud, together we become a choir, a chorus high than the hurt, louther than the loneliness."

[Intro] Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh [Verse 1] At seventeen I started to starve myself I thought that love was a kind of emptiness And at least I understood then the hunger I felt And I didn't have to call it loneliness [Chorus] We all have a hunger We all have a hunger We all have a hunger We all have a hunger [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you need Oh, you look so free The way you use your body, baby Come on and work it for me Don't let them get you down You're the best thing I've seen We never found the answer But we knew one thing [Chorus] We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger) We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger) We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger) We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger) [Post-Chorus] And it's Friday night and it's kicking in In that pink dress, they're gonna crucify me Oh and you in all your vibrant youth How could anything bad ever happen to you? You make a fool of death with your beauty And for a moment [Verse 2] I thought that love was in the drugs But the more I took, the more it took away And I could never get enough I thought that love was on the stage, give yourself to strangers You don't have to be afraid Then it tries to find a home With people or when I'm alone Picking it apart And staring at your phone [Chorus] We all have a hunger We all have a hunger We all have a hunger We all have a hunger [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you need Oh, you look so free The way you use your body, baby Come on and work it for me Don't let them get you down You're the best thing I've seen We never found the answer But we knew one thing [Chorus] We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger) We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger) We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger) We all have a hunger (We all have a hunger) [Post-Chorus] And it's Friday night and it's kicking in In that pink dress, they're gonna crucify me Oh and you in all your vibrant youth How could anything bad ever happen to you? You make a fool of death with your beauty And for a moment I forget to worry
