The Hunger

The Hunger

A Poem by Travis Prino

Temptation rears it's ugly head 

in times of broken trust

it takes a hold of everything 

with intentions to crush

and madness takes control 

of what we thought was in our grasp

tonight we toast to feelings

that got lost in the past


and the hunger

it grows within

and the hunger

it gets larger with sin

and the hunger

it'll spread to your skin

and the hunger

it will always win


temptation rears it's ugly head 

in times of broken love

it seizes every moment 

that we built from the ground up

and sanity is questioned 

when we throw it all away

tonight we toast to the future 

and the life we couldn't maintain


and the hunger

it grows within

and the hunger

it gets larger with sin

and the hunger

it'll spread to your skin

and the hunger

it will always win


temptation rears it's ugly head 

in times of broken truth

as lies get burned within our hearts 

until we are consumed

and reality is haunting 

as we share our final kiss

tonight we toast to honesty 

and the shattered dreams we promised


and the hunger

it grows within

and the hunger

it gets larger with sin

and the hunger

it'll spread to your skin

and the hunger

it will always win


we were caught in the rapture for oh so long

we were caught in the rapture but now it's gone

we were caught in the rapture for oh so long

we were caught in the rapture but now it's gone

I've moved on to someone new

someone who's better than you


and the hunger

it grows within

and the hunger

it gets larger with sin

and the hunger

it'll spread to your skin

and the hunger

it will always win

and the hunger

it grows within

and the hunger

it gets larger with sin

and the hunger

it'll spread to your skin

and the hunger

it will always win

the hunger

it always wins.
