The Hunger Keeps Its Hand

[Verse 1]
I tap my card before I think
Another little fix arrives
Bright boxes stacked against the sink
Then vanish when the morning dries
You say my name; I lean too far
And call the rush a place to land
I spend the night to feel a spark
Then wake with nothing in my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
I know the bargain, know the cost
Still chase the bite, the kiss, the gloss

[Chorus]
I feed the ache with one more thing
A sugar hit, a diamond ring
Your mouth, a meal, the next excuse
I want the want; I want the use
It fills me up for half a breath
Then leaves me asking what is left

[Verse 2]
The courier leaves another box
I tear it open, barely look
I count the hours by the knocks
And swallow comfort like a book
You pull me close; I call it fate
I give away the part that knows
Then order something late, too late
To keep the quiet from its pose

[Pre-Chorus]
I know the bargain, know the cost
Still chase the bite, the kiss, the gloss

[Chorus]
I feed the ache with one more thing
A sugar hit, a diamond ring
Your mouth, a meal, the next excuse
I want the want; I want the use
It fills me up for half a breath
Then leaves me asking what is left

[Outro]
One more, I say, and watch it pass
The hunger keeps its hand on the glass
