Hunger

Zola Jesus

Oh I got the hunger 
It moves but won’t lose it 
I’m not getting younger 
I use it abusively 
I got the hunger 
I got the hunger in my veins 
I won’t surrender 

Until it takes me away 
I got the hunger 
I got the hunger in my veins 
It’s taking me under 
Until it takes me away 
It’s been five years waiting for the unfold 
Throat sore on swallowed gold 
Sick of being sick 
Tired of these wired ways 

It won’t save me 
It won’t replace me no 
I got the hunger it will not let go 
I got too many worlds to know   
I got the hunger 
I got the hunger in my veins 
I won’t surrender 
Until it takes me away 

I got the hunger 
I got the hunger in my veins 
It’s taking me under 
Until it takes me away 
It’s been too many times I’ve tested my cells 
Waiting on point nemo 
Absolute zero 
Mother lung give me a hard shake 

Self-abuse maze I gotta break 
It won’t let up 
It won’t save me no 
I got the hunger it will not let go 
I got too many words to sew 
I got the hunger 
I got the hunger in my veins 
I won’t surrender 
Until it takes me away 

I got the hunger 
I got the hunger in my veins 
It’s taking me under 
Until it takes me away 
And it’s all that I want 
All that I need 
I got the hunger 
I got the hunger in my veins 
I won’t surrender 
Until it takes me away 

I got the hunger 
I got the hunger in my veins 
It’s taking me under 
Until it takes me away
