Hungry Ghost Songtext
von Billy Price

Deny and impersonate
It don′t feel great
Going through the motions
Like a mechanical man
Unrequited love leaves a residue
It's haunting you
Something′s been missing
Since the day you began

Tied yourself to a whipping post
Now you wander through the bardo
Like a hungry ghost
A hungry ghost

Longing was a permanent state of mind
All the ghosts you left behind
Looking back on the roads not taken
Compromises never felt right
Fever dreams in the middle of the night
A lifetime filled with aching


Tied yourself to a whipping post
Now you wander through the bardo
Like a hungry ghost
A hungry ghost

It sits in your belly
Like a heavy stone

You carry it everywhere
Trying to find a home

You tear your clothes
You grind your teeth
Open your mouth
But you can't speak
Subterranean desires
You could never fulfill
Perpetual state of regret
All the things that you didn't get
And you know that you never will

Tied yourself to a whipping post
Now you wander through the bardo
Like a hungry ghost
A hungry ghost


Denied the things that you wanted the most
Now you wander through the bardo
Like a hungry ghost
A hungry ghost
