Only Hunger Knows

Intro

Hmm

Hmm-hmm

Verse 1

Taste is a door that swings both ways

Hung on a hinge of used-up days

I bit the salt right off the sea

And spat the question back at me

Pre-Chorus

But honey where does wanting go

When the wanting's all you know

Chorus

Paint me a color only hunger knows

A chord that only winter chose

Give me the shape that silence grows

When no one's left to hold it close

Verse 2

Love is a recipe gone loose

Too much mint too little truth

I stirred the hours down to paste

And licked the hollow from the taste

Pre-Chorus

But honey where does wanting go

When the wanting's all you know

Chorus

Paint me a color only hunger knows

A chord that only winter chose

Give me the shape that silence grows

When no one's left to hold it close

Bridge

(Spoken)

Art is just a wound that learned to sing

Hate is a bell that lost its ring

And we are only the between

The almost and the might-have-been

Drop

Mm

Mm-hmm

Mm

Mm-hmm

Chorus

Paint me a color only hunger knows

A chord that only winter chose

Give me the shape that silence grows

When no one's left to hold it close

When no one's left

When no one's left to hold it close
