Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You were right, I'll move on

But my lungs feel so small

Well, 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

[Verse 2]

I'm drownin', I'm drownin'

I'm drownin', I'm drownin'

[Verse 3]

But for the longest time I knew

There was nothin' left for us to do

But I tried, oh, I try

And in this quiet company

There is nothin' starin' back at me

I'm in need of the sound

[Verse 4]

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 5]

And I'll grow tall 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

[Verse 6]

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 7]

I'm drownin', I'm drownin'

I'm drownin', I'm drownin'

I'm drownin', I'm drownin'

I'm drownin', I'm drownin'

I'm drownin', I'm drownin'
