The Hunger Lyrics by Victor Primavesi

Idylls

2020

[Verse 1]
This body has housed a thousand squalls
Another hundred held inside these walls
I chew on lilac blossoms and keep on waiting
For that stroke of knowledge I’m anticipating
But I can’t… do it any longer
This hunger, it keeps getting stronger
Could it eat me up in the end?
I‘ve heard of chasms in which “they” descend
Stories I’ve read of lights subdued
One might say it’s a pattern that I‘ve seen through
Yet I keep coming back to the same question:
“Am I in power or the hunger’s possession?”
[Bridge]
Could it eat me up in the end?
Does it even matter if I withstand?
The more I morph into a beetle
The more I withdraw from other people
[Chorus]
Anything I would have turned into
To fit just like a glove to you;
To feed the need inside of me
Do you want to know how I really feel?
For something in my hungry mind?
Shut out in the same corridors without the key hole that I try to find. The upper hand holds the one who ignores
[Verse 2]
Unhinged moves whet my appetite
Everything I do, at first it feels right
I do those little things a little bit, skilfully avoiding to commit
In patience I abide another glitch, sewing up my mind:
Stitch by stitch
When my index finger points somewhere south –
Not geographically but in my mouth –
A slow and subtle beating in my chest
Reminds I‘m Napoleon heading west
Yet I keep coming back to the same question:
“Am I in power or the hunger’s possession?”
[Chorus]
Anything I would have turned into
To fit just like a glove to you;
To feed the need inside of me
Do you want to know how I really feel?
For something in my hungry mind?
Shut out in the same corridors without the key hole that I try to find. The upper hand holds the one who ignores
[Verse 3]
You make me loathe my bones
You make me loathe my skin
And everything that lies in-between
Should I cut my arms or should I cut my throat
To avoid the burden of your quote?
For you to know that the things you do
Are the things that bring me to
The hunger that eats me inside?
Yet you’re the one to claim “your” right
