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'
