The Hunger Keeps Its Hand

V6

[Verse 1] I tap my card before I think Another little fix arrives Bright boxes stacked against the sink Then vanish when the morning dries You say my name; I lean too far And call the rush a place to land I spend the night to feel a spark Then wake with nothing in my hand [Pre-Chorus] I know the bargain, know the cost Still chase the bite, the kiss, the gloss [Chorus] I feed the ache with one more thing A sugar hit, a diamond ring Your mouth, a meal, the next excuse I want the want; I want the use It fills me up for half a breath Then leaves me asking what is left [Verse 2] The courier leaves another box I tear it open, barely look I count the hours by the knocks And swallow comfort like a book You pull me close; I call it fate I give away the part that knows Then order something late, too late To keep the quiet from its pose [Pre-Chorus] I know the bargain, know the cost Still chase the bite, the kiss, the gloss [Chorus] I feed the ache with one more thing A sugar hit, a diamond ring Your mouth, a meal, the next excuse I want the want; I want the use It fills me up for half a breath Then leaves me asking what is left [Outro] One more, I say, and watch it pass The hunger keeps its hand on the glass
