I am Hungry - Ferron

I am hungry how are you?

You say that every lie came true

I will hold you anyway

And you’ll grow strong and leave one day

Is there any other way?

Look desire in its face

Watch it eat and leave no trace

After you have disappeared

Who will know and who will hear?

Oh it’s such delicious fear

Brushes with a starving hand

Just the ache I understand

After you have swallowed me

Who do you think you will be?

You’ll be you and I’ll be me

And still I will lay my body down

And in your many voices drown

Oh we are a hidden pool

We are so long we are so cool

While underneath we’re dark and cruel

And I am hungry how are you?

You say that every lie came true

I will hold you anyway

And you’ll grow strong and leave one day

Is there any more to say?

But: take the front door leave just one

And don’t return there are no chances pending

If you want to live this way

Only those like you will play

And they never play to stay

And they never play to stay

And they never play to stay… they never play to stay…
