Justin Johnsen was pursuing a recording arts degree at the time we met, and he invited me into the school studio to add vocals to some of his projects. This was the second song we worked on together, originally recorded onto 8 track cassette. The lyrics were adapted from a poem I'd written sometime beforehand.

By Anji Bee (BMI):

I'm alone in a dark and smoky club
Music pulsates, bodies gyrate
The smell of sweat and the scent of musk
You walk in, a breath of fresh air
We embrace, breathe deep the essence
Warm flesh, freshly scrubbed

I feel hunger
Growing deep inside my soul
I feel hunger
Burning through my empty heart
I feel hunger
Pulsing through my every vein
I feel hunger
Tearing into my lonely soul

I can taste you now
The skin of your fair neck
Each finger, each toe
The spot behind your knees and elbows

But I'm looking into your eyes
Drowning, I fantasize
How long has it been
I dream deep, I do not speak
I must snap out of this
Now the moment's passed
You turned away from me

You heard nothing, not a word from my lips
You felt nothing, not a spark from my touch
You saw nothing, not a flicker in my eyes
You sensed nothing, not a trace of my feelings

I feel hunger
Growing deep inside my soul
I feel hunger
Burning through my empty heart
I feel hunger
Pulsing through my every vein
I feel hunger
Tearing into my lonely soul
