OF MONSTERS AND MEN
"Hunger"
(Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir / Ragnar Thorhallsson)

[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir]
You are right, I'll move on
But my lungs feel so small
I couldn't breathe if I tried

I lay my head on the floor
My beating heart wanted more
But I'll keep it in and keep you out

[Refrain: Nanna, Ragnar Thorhallsson]
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning

[Verse 2: Nanna]
But for the longest time I knew
There was nothing left for us to do
But I tried, oh, I try

And in this quiet company
There is nothing staring back at me
I'm in need of the sound

[Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar]
Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you
Voices disappear when you are speaking in somber tunes
I will be the wolf and when you're starving, you'll need it too
Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you

It isn't you
It isn't

[Verse 3: Nanna]
And I'll grow to fill the void
Let me go, 'cause you are just a shade
Of what I am, not what I'll be

But in this quiet company
I forget sometimes just how to breathe
Fill my lungs with the sound

[Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar]
Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you
Voices disappear when you are speaking, in somber tunes
I will be the wolf and when you're starving, you'll need it too
Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you

It isn't you
It isn't

[Instrumental]

[Refrain: Nanna, Ragnar]
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning

[Refrain: Nanna, Ragnar]
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
