The Hunger Song

Lyrics

[Intro 🔥][Energy: Explosive]
(full band — immediate, tribal, no warmup)
(drums hit first — primal, driving)
(bass locks in like a heartbeat under attack)
(violin screams one note)

Hunger
(it's lying)
Hunger
(it's lying)
Hunger
(hear me now)

[Verse 1 🔥][Energy: High]
Nine o'clock and the kitchen's calling
Blood sugar steady but the body screams
Eleven point two is where I started
I know exactly what this hunger means

It means the old code is still running
The code that got me to that number
The code that had me on three medications
Heading down a road
That takes your sight
That takes your feet
That takes it all

It says you're dying
You're not dying
It says you need it
Right now

But I've seen what answering that call costs
And I'm not
Going
Back

[Pre-Chorus 🔥][Energy: High]
(band tightens — staccato hits)
It comes in waves
You know it comes in waves
Twenty minutes
And the wave breaks
Twenty minutes
And it passes

Let it pass
Let it pass
LET IT PASS

[Chorus 🔥][Energy: Explosive]
(tribal groove locks in — relentless)
Hunger is a liar
Hunger is a liar
You don't have to answer
Every time it calls

Hunger is a feeling
Not a fact
Not a verdict
Not a wall

You can feel it
You can face it
You can let it
Rise and fall

Hunger is a liar
And you don't
Have to answer
Every time it calls

[Verse 2 🔥][Energy: High]
(groove never stops — slightly more space)
I remember the doctor's voice
Reading the road ahead
Like a sentence being handed down
Blindness
Kidney failure
Amputations
He said

And I stood in that kitchen
Nine months later
Hunger screaming like it always does
Knowing exactly
What was waiting
At the end
Of answering it

It says one time won't hurt you
It says you've earned it
It says remember how good that tasted
It says you'll fall

But I've got the CGM to prove it's lying
I've watched the number climb
Every single time
I answered that call

[Pre-Chorus 🔥][Energy: High]
It comes in waves
You know it comes in waves
Twenty minutes
And the wave breaks
Twenty minutes
And it passes

Feel it rise
Feel it peak
Feel it fall
Feel it pass

[Bridge 😭][Energy: Mid]
(band drops to half — groove NEVER stops)
(bass keeps the tribal pulse underneath)
Let me tell you what hunger actually is

(groove tightens, deliberate)
It's your body
Running old code
Written before
You decided
Who you'd be

It is not an emergency
It is not the doctor's worst road
It is not
Your master

(one beat of silence)

Unless you let it be

[Bridge 🔥][Energy: Explosive]
(full band SLAMS back — harder than before)
So you look at it
You name it
You say —

I see you hunger
I know what you are
I know where you're taking me
If I follow

You're a wave
And waves break
You're a feeling
And feelings pass
You're a liar
And the last time I listened to you
I was heading for the cane again
The meds again
The road that takes
Everything

Liars
Don't run this house
Anymore

[Instrumental Break][Energy: Explosive]
(violin war cry — extended)
(bass and drums tribal locked)
(guitar angular stabs)
(30 seconds of pure groove)

[Final Chorus 🔥🔥][Energy: Explosive]
(chant-like — call and response)
Hunger is a liar — (liar)
Hunger is a liar — (liar)
You don't have to answer
Every time it calls — (every time)

Hunger is a feeling — (just a feeling)
Not a fact — (not a fact)
Not a verdict — (not a verdict)
Not a wall — (not a wall)

You can feel it — (feel it)
You can face it — (face it)
You can let it — (let it)
Rise and fall — (rise and fall)

Hunger is a liar
And I don't
Have to answer
Every time it calls

[Outro 🔥][Energy: Explosive][Abrupt End]
(tribal groove drives harder)
(band hits harder and harder)

Hunger — (liar)
Hunger — (liar)
Hunger — (liar)
Hunger —

STOP
