The Urge

[Verse 1]
I click “buy now” before I know
What little ache I’m trying to sew
A bright new thing, a borrowed hour
Then cardboard blooms beside the flowers

[Pre-Chorus]
I call it want, I call it need
I feed the spark, it grows a weed

[Chorus]
I spend, I bite, I fall too fast
Trying to make the hollow pass
Your hand, a feast, a shining thing
I take the rush; it wears off thin

[Verse 2]
I make a promise in a rush
Then wake beneath the after-flush
One more sweet mouthful, one more kiss
I chase the part I think I miss

[Pre-Chorus]
The bright relief comes quick and leaves
A little silence underneath

[Chorus]
I spend, I bite, I fall too fast
Trying to make the hollow pass
Your hand, a feast, a shining thing
I take the rush; it wears off thin

[Bridge]
Maybe the hunger has a name
Maybe I’m tired of feeding flame
I can feel the urge arrive
And let it pass without a price

[Final Chorus]
I spend, I bite, I fall too fast
But I can see the pattern now
Your hand, a feast, a shining thing
I want the truth beneath the want

[Outro]
The urge comes through; I let it be
A wave that doesn’t get to own me
