V6

[Intro – low layered voices] Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. [Verse 1] The shoreline’s made of broken clocks. The sand is warm like living skin. The trees lean closer when you sleep And whisper names they swallowed in. There are no graves upon the island. A grave would prove that someone died. Here the missing leave no wound, No date, no stone, no place to cry. [Pre-Chorus] It doesn’t need your heartbeat. It doesn’t need your blood. It wants the life you left behind. It wants to eat the love. [Chorus] Neverland is hungry. It feeds on what you knew. It doesn’t eat the body. It eats the proof of you. Neverland is hungry, And Peter is its mouth. Every time the world forgets you, Something underneath gets out. [Post-Chorus] Hungry for the picture. Hungry for the room. Hungry for the mother Who no longer remembers you. [Verse 2] The games repeat without an ending. Every laugh returns the same. No one knows how long they’ve played there. No one knows their mother’s name. Peter never counts the ones he brings. He counts the homes that close. One forgotten photograph. One family that never knows. [Pre-Chorus] He doesn’t promise life forever. He promises you won’t grow old. He never says the island keeps Whatever memory can’t hold. [Chorus] Neverland is hungry. It feeds on what you knew. It doesn’t eat the body. It eats the proof of you. Neverland is hungry, And Peter is its mouth. Every time the world forgets you, Something underneath gets out. [Bridge] Feed it your first day of school. Feed it the fever through the night. Feed it the cup you broke in winter. Feed it the hand you held too tight. Feed it birthdays, scars and nicknames. Feed it every bedroom door. Give it every proof you lived. It will still ask you for more. [Industrial Breakdown] No body. No grave. No name left to save. No mother. No tears. No missing person here. No record. No blame. Open your mouth and swallow the name. [Final Chorus] Neverland is hungry. Now London feels it too. It crawls through every empty room The moment they forget you. Neverland is hungry. Peter tears the doorway out. Every name the world abandons Gives the darkness one more mouth. Neverland is hungry. Neverland is near. It doesn’t need an open window. It only needs you to disappear. [Outro – male whisper] Bring me another. I’m still hungry.
