EARLY ACCESS | Hunger / MafuMafu

This hunger is eating me...
Hunger / MafuMafu | English Cover

It is my birthday, and so I wanted to sing special very special to celebrate!
This song is a tremendous milestone for me as an artist. MafuMafu is not only my favorite artist, but the one I am most inspired by. Ever since I began singing, I have wanted to cover a MafuMafu song, but have been waiting and practicing until I felt my skills were sharpened enough (having never had a vocal lesson before, this has been a tremendous journey of learning).
MafuMafu's music is very, very special for me. I hope that you can feel that in my cover of Hunger (Kuufuku).
Thank you so much for supporting my musical journey. This channel and my wonderful listeners are a gift to me every single day. So even though it's my birthday, please let me give this video to you as a gift. It's from the depths of my heart. Thank you.

LYRICS

These empty eyes have never known joy in life

Hear God above looking down on us tossed to the side

"Why do you waste the breath that I've blessed you with?"

His words cut me like a knife

Is it a heartbeat I feel inside?

Is love what I should call the pain I hide?

And as my eyes are shaken alive by emptiness I have come to call a hunger for my whole life

I'm breathing, eating, empty every single day

I season up my plate with the dreams I've thrown away

Ah,

Who's behind these dead eyes?

A monster at a table for two

He's never full, another day consumed

Ah,

My insides churn each time you come crying

A bittersweet buffet, just keep filling up my plate

This Hunger is eating me

I pour another bowl of soup that's stewed

In all the tears I've brewed over dreams still unchewed

While reaching for the fork, we're torn apart

A feast eating out of our heart

Ah, acting on instinct, I'll take my tongue to eat, I'm just so hungry, I slit my throat to feast; with my blood to drink

I swallowed every piece that's left of me, ah...

I've had too much to eat...

I've had too much to eat...

I vomit, eat, repeat it

Where am I? I'm lost, I'm

So drunken on the sound of your cries...

They never stop, they feed my appetite

Ah,

I'm praying for anything to save me

Come fill this heart that's gone to waste,

Take away my pain

This Hunger is eating me

My lips are bitten, seething

My nails are broken, bleeding

Just how many tears have left me choked and gagging?

Would dying say I'm sorry

Would dying say I'm sorry

Just how many times have I been down this road?

I've lost control!

I don't know who these hands belong to anymore and I can't take it

Its taken toll... its taken toll

I'm so sick of using you to tame this appetite,

I should let you go...

Heartless and cold, this body is a hollow, broken bowl

What do you call such a soul?

Ah,

Ah...

I'm drowning in the tears that I've cried,

Grabbing a knife, I take another bite

Ah,

My insides churn each time you come crying

A bittersweet buffet, just keep filling up my plate

This Hunger is eating me

No, I've had enough...

Keep crying, you can't change

I've had enough...

Keep eating, feeding your shame

Behind these eyes,

My mind and body fight

I've lost control of my life, I scream

This Hunger is eating me
