Sacred Hunger

[Verse] You wake beside a body you haven't touched for years You learned to call it faithful While drowning in the quiet here Every night becomes another Every kiss becomes a ghost You have forgotten what it feels like to be wanted, to be close [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer You don't have to say a word [Chorus] Sacred hunger There is nothing wrong with wanting There is nothing wrong with fire Let me take you somewhere deeper Than the life you have retired Sacred hunger Give me just a little time And I'll show you how it feels When your body comes back to life Let me show you what you're waiting for When your longing has been heard Sacred... Sacred hunger.. Stay with me tonight Leave silence at the door You don't know how much of living You have never felt before Sacred hunger [Verse] I don't want anything in return I don't want you to feel shame I only want to wake the part of you That learned to fear its flame There are places in the body Words could never reach alone And the touch between two people Can become a world of its own [Pre-Chorus] Let your breathing lose its rhythm Let your carefulness unwind There are truths beneath the skin That you buried in your mind [Chorus] Sacred hunger It is more than flesh between us More than heat beneath the skin There is something moving through us When we finally let it in Sacred hunger Feel the silence opening What you thought was only longing Can become something transcending If you let it begin So come, come, let me in Sacred... Sacred hunger Let me give you back the night Claim back your lusting flame Let me touch the part of you That you forgot was still awake Sacred hunger [Verse] You have lived inside a promise That became a locked room You mistook the lack of sorrow For a silent life in full bloom But desire isn't asking For permission to exist And the sacred isn't distant It can tremble in a kiss [Bridge] I offer you an escape From wishes and remembering Cuz what you called temptation Was the pulse beneath everything Heaven isn't somewhere That we have to leave this world to find It is here between us When our body meets our mind [Pre-Chorus] So take the time you never gave yourself And leave tomorrow out of sight You only have to feel and live tonight [Final-Chorus] Sacred hunger Now you know what I am telling you When I asked you to come near There is a lustful life within your wanting And that's nothing you should fear Sacred hunger Give up your resistance Even kinks are normal longings If you find someone to share So don't bury them as "they are wrong" Or as a sign of despair Sacred hunger Give me just a little time with you And you'll know what life is for There is nothing to be ashamed So tear down your walls and your control It's printed in our DNA to complete our design as a whole Sacred hunger [Outro] No promise Only this moment Only breath and skin And the feeling of becoming yourself again Stay a little longer Stay until the silence disappears Stay until you remember How it feels to be yourself now and here Sacred hunger Sacred.. Sacred... Sacred hunger Sacred hunger
