Hungry

from Rebel by Natalie Kendel

lyrics

I have eaten pleasures
and I have dined on greed
I have swallowed monsters,
most of them living inside me

But I was left
unsatisfied
every time
For who us
can have their fill
on the asinine?

'Cause religion didn’t fill me
nor the pride of piety
I’m starving for the real thing:
for your true reality
I don’t want that cold and dead stuff;
it’s just another kind of chain
but to feast and be satisfied
at your table once again

I have drunk distractions
and I have gnawed on pain
Nothing seemed to fill this
empty, heart-shaped space

For I was left
unsatisfied
every time
No substitute
could ever match
this heart of mine

'Cause religion didn’t fill me
nor the pride of piety
I’m starving for the real thing:
for your true reality
I don’t want that cold and dead stuff;
it’s just another kind of chain
but to feast and be satisfied
at your table once again

I have been so hungry
I’ve made my home inside
the bloated, rotten carcass of
the longing we can’t hide

And I am left
unsatisfied
every time!
Even your crumbs
are like a feast
Let me dine

'Cause religion didn’t fill me
nor the pride of piety
I’m starving for the real God,
for his true reality
I don’t want that cold and dead stuff;
it’s just another kind of chain
But to feast and be satisfied

Feast and be satisfied
at his table once again
