The Hunger Ballad

Cigarette ashes scattered around you
Drinking till the sky is light blue
Violet bruises of every battle
Make you a universe
Hidden in plain sight
And videogames highlight
Your eyebags
The sounds of Vice City
Cover up the rumbles
Of a stomach ignored for far too long
And I wish I could have been there
To fill up your heart

Breaking apart
There are no heroes for the hungry ones
Please just
Hold on
Be your own saviour when the morning comes

High bike rides by the iron bridge
Laughing about how
Morrissey would hate this
Monster cans and coffee cups
Dancing in the dark
Making out
And then throwing up
If you could you'd take
Christie Road and run away
You'd find out
Who you are and numb all this pain

Breaking apart
There are no heroes for the hungry ones
Please just
Hold on
Be your own saviour when the morning comes

And if you feel alone
Remember we were
All alone together
Painting our nails black

Breaking apart
There are no heroes for the hungry ones
Please just
Hold on
Be your own saviour when the morning comes
Please just
Rise up
You're your own saviour when the morning comes
