A Hunger That Learns My Name (alternate version)

V6

[Verse 1: Warm bass, kalimba] There's a pleasure in the moment That my body understands Better than a thousand lectures Or the rules I try to plan I can savor every second I can celebrate the taste But sometimes I keep reaching When the joy has gone away [Pre-Chorus: Rhythms multiply] Enough is such a strange idea When another little pleasure Feels so near [Chorus: Melodic syncopated groove] Feed the feeling Feed the feeling Till the feeling cannot feel I'm not chasing satisfaction I'm postponing something real Sweet excess, sweet relief Such a temporary peace How can something taste so lovely And still leave me incomplete? [Verse 2] I don't want to hate the wanting I don't want to fear delight I just want to know the difference Between enjoying and needing more [Bridge: Broken drums, whispers] (More) Not necessarily (More) Not automatically (More) I can let the moment end [Final Chorus: Gentle harmonies] Feel the feeling Feel the feeling Let the feeling come and leave There is pleasure in a moment Without making it everything
