It's a dark and empty room   The sun beating hard on your door   Feel emotion roar within you   You're flesh and blood like anyone      Make some sense of your life   Move your hand and make the mark   I don't know why you're so confused   You're flesh and blood, there's no excuse      And the hunger inside   Won't go away, it's starting to rise   And the longer you hide   The more you deny      And the sea rushes in   The wind is howling at your back   The past is always overturned   It's a dead man who would refuse   And twice the man to fill his shoes      And the hunger inside   Won't go away, it's starting to rise   And the longer you hide   The more you deny      And the hunger inside   Won't go away, it's starting to rise   And the sea rushes in   Into my world      I can feel the king tide coming   All my senses overflowing   One night waiting out the back   Horns blow and cymbals crash      So paint a circle in the sky   I lay breathless in the arms of love   There's a bruise on my back   And a new understanding too
