[Intro - whispered, hollow, raspy] I'm hungry... I'm always hungry... [Verse 1 - low, slow, gnawing] There's a hole in my stomach that no food can fill There's a beast in my ribcage and it's never still I've been eating everything — the money, the fame And every time I swallow, I forget my own name I don't eat to survive, I survive just to eat And the hunger is the only thing that keeps me on my feet They say "just eat something," they say "just take a bite" But the hunger isn't food — it's a craving for the night [Chorus - shouted, harsh, starving] THE HUNGER! THE HUNGER! IT NEVER DIES! I SEE IT STARING BACK FROM EVERYONE'S EYES! THE HUNGER! THE HUNGER! IT NEVER STOPS! I'VE BEEN EATING MY OWN SOUL UNTIL IT DROPS! THE HUNGER! THE HUNGER! IT NEVER ENDS! I'VE BEEN DEVOURING MY ENEMIES AND FRIENDS! THE HUNGER! THE HUNGER! IT NEVER SLEEPS! I'VE BEEN SWALLOWING THE SECRETS THAT IT KEEPS! [Verse 2 - faster, aggressive, raspy] I ate the love I had, I ate the pain I knew I ate the future that I wanted and I ate the truth I ate the mirrors in the house, I ate the walls I ate the silence and I ate the calls I don't feel full, I don't feel sick, I just feel the need To put another piece of me inside the greed I don't want a doctor, I don't want a cure I just want to feed the thing that makes me pure [Chorus] THE HUNGER! THE HUNGER! IT NEVER DIES! I SEE IT STARING BACK FROM EVERYONE'S EYES! THE HUNGER! THE HUNGER! IT NEVER STOPS! I'VE BEEN EATING MY OWN SOUL UNTIL IT DROPS! THE HUNGER! THE HUNGER! IT NEVER ENDS! I'VE BEEN DEVOURING MY ENEMIES AND FRIENDS! THE HUNGER! THE HUNGER! IT NEVER SLEEPS! I'VE BEEN SWALLOWING THE SECRETS THAT IT KEEPS! [Bridge - slow, heavy, spoken with reverb] I ate the world... And the world... ate... me... [Verse 3 - screaming, chaotic] I AM THE MOUTH THAT NEVER CLOSES! I AM THE THROAT THAT NEVER DOZES! EVERY BITE I TAKE IS A PIECE OF MY MIND! EVERY MEAL I MAKE IS A PIECE OF MANKIND! FEED! FEED! FEED UNTIL I BURST! FEED UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO QUENCH THE THIRST! I DON'T WANT A FEAST! I DON'T WANT A CROWN! I JUST WANT TO EAT UNTIL I BURN IT ALL DOWN! [Outro - fading, whispered] Hungry... Still... hungry... [End - single distorted bass drop into silence]
