LYRICS | Hunger / MafuMafu (Patreon)

This cover comes from a really special place in me.

I used to struggle really badly with a lot of dark things before I met Christ and was able to say goodbye to that side of me. I hope that this cover can touch your heart and help you feel heard. 

This is going to be a HUGE project! I am making a custom MV for it and pouring my soul into every syllable. I plan to upload it for my birthday in January, so please look forward to it!


Original Song: https://youtu.be/ZfBHMucSxCA


These empty eyes have never know a joy in life
The God above looking down on us tossed to the side
"Why do you waste the breath that I've blessed you with?"
His words cut me like a knife

Is it a heartbeat I feel inside?
Is love what I should call the pain I hide?
And as my eyes are shaken alive by emptiness I have come to call hunger for my whole life

I'm breathing, eating, empty every single day
I season up my plate with the dreams I've thrown away

Ah,
Who's behind these dead eyes?
A monster at a table for two
He's never full, another day consumed
Ah,
My insides churn each time you come crying
A bittersweet buffet, just keep filling up my plate
This Hunger is eating me

I pour another bowl of soup that's stewed
In all the tears I've brewed over dreams still unchewed

While reaching for the fork, we're torn apart
A feast eating out of our heart

Ah, acting on instinct, I'll take my tongue to eat, I'm just so hungry, I slit my throat to feast; with my blood to drink
I swallowed every piece that's left of me, ah...

I've had too much to eat...
I've had too much to eat...

I vomit, eat, repeat it
Where am I? I'm lost, I'm
So drunken on the sound of your cries...
They never stop, they feed my appetite
Ah,
I'm praying for anything to save me
Come fill this heart that's gone to waste,
Take away my pain
This Hunger is eating me

My lips are bitten, seething
My nails are broken, bleeding
Just how many tears have left me choked and gagging?
Would dying say I'm sorry
Would dying say I'm sorry
Just how many times have I been down this road?
I've lost control!
I don't know who these hands belong to anymore and I can't take it
Its taken toll... its taken toll
I'm so sick of using you to tame this appetite,
I should let you go...

Heartless and cold, this body is a hollow, broken bowl
What do you call such a soul?

Ah,
Ah...
I'm drowning in the tears that I've cried,
Grabbing a knife, I take another bite
Ah,
My insides churn each time you come crying
A bittersweet buffet, just keep filling up my plate
This Hunger is eating me

No, I've had enough...
Keep crying, you can't change
I've had enough...
Keep eating, feeding your shame

Behind these eyes,
My mind and body fight
I've lost control of my life, I scream
This Hunger is eating me
