David Alan Roberts - Gnawing Hunger and Thirst Lyrics

I arrived, I'm where I wanted to be
Though I thought I'd feel more free
And with peace I could finally relax
And there'd be no more of the panic attacks
I bought in, I paid the price
I'm cold-blooded with veins of ice
Success was sweet at first
But I'm left with a gnawing hunger and thirst
It's strange how things turn out
When you never wonder what it's all about
The focus, it will make you blind
To all the good that you left behind
I bought in, I paid the price
I'm cold-blooded with veins of ice
Success was sweet at first
But I'm left with a gnawing hunger and thirst
Some thoughts I had to bury so deep
But they would arise in the quiet of sleep
The dream, it became a nightmare
And when I awake it's just as I feared
It's so empty, devoid of life
Relief at best, but not true delight
Sweet at first, bitter with time
And always that incessant need to climb
