Lord…

Lord…

Can you hear a hungry man tonight?

I walk these streets with polished shoes

But my shadow bites like a starving dog

Smile clean

Hands clean

Soul shaking underneath the cloth

There’s violence sleeping in my blood

There’s heat beneath my Sunday skin

I keep my mouth closed at the dinner table

So nobody hears the beast within

Hold it down

Hold it down

Hold it down

Don’t let it rise

Every billboard wants my hunger

Every body wants my eyes

Every preacher wants obedience

Every devil wants me alive

I feel shame crawling up my backbone

Like a snake made out of prayer

And every time I try to stay human

Something inside me tears

I don’t wanna lose my soul!

I don’t wanna lose my name!

I don’t wanna die polite

With all this fire in my veins!

DON’T LET MY SOUL GO HUNGRY!

DON’T LET MY SOUL GO HUNGRY!

I WANNA SCREAM!

I WANNA RUN!

I WANNA FEEL MY BLOOD LIKE A DRUM!

DON’T LET MY SOUL GO HUNGRY!

You tell a man to kneel long enough

He forgets what standing feels like!

You tell a man to swallow rage long enough

He starts eating himself alive!

Soul hungry!

Soul hungry!

Soul hungry!

Soul hungry!

Lord—

I can’t breathe in this skin no more!

My body wants heat!

My heart wants mercy!

My fists want war!

My soul wants water!

Say it!

Say it!

Say it!

DON’T LET MY SOUL GO HUNGRY!

DON’T LET MY SOUL GO HUNGRY!

DON’T LET MY SOUL GO HUNGRY!

DON’T LET MY SOUL GO HUNGRY!

Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!

I WANNA SCREAM!

I WANNA LIVE!

I WANNA BREAK THESE BONES OPEN WIDE!

Don’t let it starve…

Don’t let it starve…

Soul hungry…

Soul hungry…

Soul hungry…
