[Verse] Empty plates but hearts are full Don't need to prove I'm powerful This hunger's not for show or pride It's where my selfishness collides [Verse 2] No bitter face no hollow groan No theatrics to be shown The fast is joy the feast unseen A quiet love pure and serene [Chorus] Through hunger's song I start to grow It's not for you it's not for show This discipline it sets me free To tune my soul to what will be [Verse 3] The whispered ache the gentle bend Reminds me what will truly mend To break the chains I built in vain And walk where love will heal the pain [Bridge] No medals here no loud parade Just spirit’s warmth in what’s obeyed A fasting heart that longs to give Not to endure but just to live [Verse 4] I'm not enriched by being grim My source of joy flows deep within Through every pang love takes its course Not misery but holy force
