Hunger and Thirst

[Verse 1] I’m hoping for A song that will come to me when I’m asleep Because I can’t lie And so I can’t write Eyes in the dark And it occurred to me that I have spent My whole life Starting over Caught pining for the things that I could have been I could have been a gold digger I could have been a gunslinger I could have been a little bigger I could have been my own ringer I could have been a pop singer I could have been a pop singer I could have been a pop singer But what I am is the silence [Verse 2] I crawled into the spotlight Cleared my throat and I closed my eyes I sang a song that I didn’t like I sang a song that I didn’t like And I was left in the long night I hoped to God that I wouldn’t die Before I gave it an honest try Now I try And I try And try To recall a little white light Put me back into my right mind I dig a hole and see what I can find I dig a hole and see what I can find I’ve been burying my whole life Beneath the lie that it looks like Beneath the song that I didn’t write Beneath the song that I didn’t write [Verse 3] I crawled into the spotlight And in my state I was a sorry sight I sing a song ’til I get it right I sing a song ’til I get it right
