How Long Can The Hunger Last

Verse 1

Empty ribcage rattling inside

Shadows stretching where the sun should hide

Clutching at a promise like a rusted knife

Buying minutes from a borrowed life

Pre-Chorus

No harvest on this bitter ground

The wind is the only hollow sound

Dragging through the thickening dust

Turning every silver tooth to rust

Chorus

How long can this hunger last

Burying the future in a jagged past

Feed the fire with a handful of glass

Tell me how long can this hunger last

Verse 2

Stomach tied in a velvet knot

Counting everything that we never got

Vultures circling above the cracked white stone

Waiting for the marrow in the brittle bone

Pre-Chorus

The table set with only greed

Sowing what no living soul can need

Staring down the black and yawning throat

Nothing left but an anchor for the boat

Chorus

How long can this hunger last (How long)

Burying the future in a jagged past (The past)

Feed the fire with a handful of glass (Of glass)

Tell me how long can this hunger last (The hunger)

Bridge

Chew the air until the jaw starts breaking

Take back every breath that they were taking

(Burn it down)

(Starve it out)

(Scream it loud)

The belly of the beast is finally waking

Guitar Solo

Chorus

How long can this hunger last (How long)

Burying the future in a jagged past (The past)

Feed the fire with a handful of glass (Of glass)

Tell me how long can this hunger last (The hunger)

Post-Chorus

Feed the hunger

Kill the hunger

Eat the hunger

Watch it rot
