Constant Hunger

Constant Hunger

Verse 1
All these little rejections build up in your soul
Being turned away crushes your self-esteem
All these little let-downs surround you ever so slowly
To the point where they're about to consume you
Disappointment is such a drag
All these little distortions ingratiate themselves into your mind
Your belief system is based on lies and propaganda
All these little unpleasantries make for ruined situations
It's challenging to generate momentum and to keep it progressing

Verse 2
All these little recollections buried deep within your psyche
Flashes of the past burst through like a manufactured hurricane
All these little anomalies becoming a nuisance
Plans are adjusted and cancellations are put into effect

Verse 3
All these little machinations developing sight unseen
Theories abound when they're finally revealed
All these little medications destroying what's left of your health
Natural functions are being replaced through artificial means

Bridge
Trinkets no longer appease you
Gadgets don't appeal to you
Substance is intoxicatingly desirable

Chorus
You're wanting more out of life
But are left unsatisfied
You give more than you receive and feel under-appreciated
Attempting to explain yourself causes misunderstanding
This is how constant hunger dwells in you

I can relate. I've been hungry a long time.

I'm always curious what Jim Colyer is going to say on your posts..................
