lyrics

what makes your heart so bitter
what makes your road so rough
what makes your cup half empty
there’s never near enough

what makes you look right through me
what demon from your past
what are you looking for
inside that whisky glass

you’re always thirsty
thirsty
you’re always thirsty
and you’re never satisfied

what makes me feel so broken
so empty and so wild
what makes me feel so restless
like some lonely orphan child

i’m always thirsty
thirsty
i’m always thirsty
and i’m never satisfied

what makes this house so frigid
feels like a cold steel trap
what makes us pace like wild things
what turned us mean like that?

we’re always thirsty
thirsty
we’re always thirsty
we’re never satisfied
