A God With a Ravenous Heart

Verse 1

I keep a room where the curtains never part

A crooked portrait of a crooked heart

She comes at dusk with her hands folded tight

A little lamb who prefers the bite

Pre-Chorus

And I want and I want and I want

What a hollow thing to want

Chorus

Kneel down

Kneel down for me

I am the hunger that will not set you free

Kneel down

Kneel down and pray

You were made to worship me this way

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) worship me this way

(Oh-oh) worship me this way

Verse 2

She reads me like a psalm she memorized

Every bruise a blessing she devised

I am her altar she is my disease

Two mouths praying on their knees

Pre-Chorus

And I take and I take and I take

Such a tender thing to break

Chorus

Kneel down

Kneel down for me

I am the hunger that will not set you free

Kneel down

Kneel down and pray

You were made to worship me this way

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) worship me this way

(Oh-oh) worship me this way

Bridge

Centuries crawl and I still crave

A saint who likes to be a slave

She whispers lord and I play the part

A god with a rotten, ravenous heart

Chorus

Kneel down

Kneel down for me

I am the hunger that will not set you free

Kneel down

Kneel down and pray

You were made to worship me this way

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) worship me this way

(Oh-oh) worship me this way
