Beneath thy holy wings

Lord, I'm sick of counting, won't you let me off your leash?
Heard "Everything is sustenance, the fat my body needs"
Lord, I'm sick of purging, oh you cannot weigh my soul
An angel's still an angel, even when she's lost control
Lord, I'm sick of tracking, no, my tupperware's no trap
I pray to beg for seconds like a hound upon my lap
Lord, I'm sick of waiting for my beauty to begin
Why is every good emotion always footnoted as sin?

The hunger comes, the hunger comes to claim another soul
The hunger comes, the hunger comes to claim another soul
The hunger comes, the hunger comes, it reaps but never sows
The hunger comes, the hunger comes, disguising as control

And I was struck my lightning in the hour I was born
My mother always blamed me at the coming of astorm
And I could never fill up Lord, no matter what I did
The hunger's been my shadow ever since I was a kid
But Lord, I'm sick of looking at the dimples in the glass
And zooming in on screenshots of the hip dips on my ass
My thighs were grown to bound through
all this late September wheat
Who am I to say, "Not now, " if my body's begging me?

The hunger comes, the hunger comes to claim another soul
The hunger comes, the hunger comes to claim another soul
The hunger comes, the hunger comes, it reaps but never sows
The hunger comes, the hunger comes, disguising as control

My ancestors would leap right
off these shoulders I have built
They'd plate me up a serving without any ounce of guilt
Maybe then I too could be at peace with how I'm made
And when I stand here naked, I will let go of this charade
Lord, I'm sick of counting, won't you let me off your leash?
Heard "Everything is sustenance, the fat my body needs"
And Lord, I'm sick of purging, no you cannot weigh my soul
An angel's still an angel, even when she's lost control

The hunger comes, the hunger comes
you'll never take my soul
The hunger comes, the hunger comes
you'll never take my soul
The hunger comes, the hunger comes, so fill another bowl
The hunger comes, the hunger comes, just fill another bowl
