Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I'm thirsty, God, I'm thirsty

From drinking what destroys me

I'm pouring poison in my cup


I'm hungry, God, I'm hungry

Consuming what controls me

Somehow it never fills me up


We all want to find something to pass the time

But that could never be enough


Everybody says we're all so different

But everybody knows we're all the same

We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain

Something's got to change


Do you remember when you

Had so much hope within you

It lingers deep inside you still


The more of us we swallow

The more we become hollow

Until we don't know how to feel


We all want to find something to satisfy

But we could never be enough


When everything we say and take just leads to war and hate

We only pass the blame, sedate the pain, and move along

But something feels so wrong, so deep inside, so hard to hide

So desperately we try and try, and come to find that we are not what we've been looking for

I can't believe I"m hearing people say that all is well

I think it's time we all admit we have no good within ourselves

'Cause we are not okay, we're not alright, and we need to pray for help

Forgive us for our pride, Oh God, Oh God, please save us from ourselves
