The Sound of Hunger

Waking to the sound of hunger Across the room laid a warning so bright Not a dollar or a scrap to their name Manifest till it reaches new highs He would fear himself A father and a lover with nothing left to give A catacomb with neglect on the walls Makes for a bitter home I would make myself bleed If it meant for you to eat Shrouded by the ignorance This is love, this is pride, feeling dead inside Taking back, what was yours This is war, to survive, bury fear inside Or watch how his life falls to their knees Beyond the horizon Reach out to grasp what you've already lost Eyes Are sewn to avoid the real world He can't control himself Pulling into the void Walk away with what you deserve When the emptiness consumes you Perish under a ruined world This is love, this is pride, feeling dead inside Taking back what was yours This is war, to survive, bury fear inside Or watch how his life falls to their knees Sinking down, through the ground, were the memories Of a time when they were fine Bruised and broken, and still, buried fear inside This world will bend you to your knees When the emptiness consumes you Perish under a ruined world Ruined Losing yourself Just to care for another Drag Your weight In gold To reach a simpler design Life is war Beyond the horizon Reach out to grasp what you've already lost This is love, this is pride, feeling dead inside Taking back what was yours This is war, to survive, bury fear inside Or watch how his life falls to their knees Sinking down, through the ground, were the memories Of a time when they were fine Bruised and broken, and still, buried fear inside This world will bend you to your knees Drag your weight in gold to reach a simpler design
