Abbey - Mitski

I am hungry

I have been hungry

I was born hungry

What do I need?

I am something

I have been something

I was born something

What could I be?

There is a light that I can see

But only, it seems, when there’s darkness in me

There is a dream that I sometimes see

That only appears in the dark of sleep

I am waiting

I have been waiting

I was born waiting

I was born waiting

For that something

Just to want something

I was born something

I was born

There is a light, I feel it in me

But only, it seems, when the dark surrounds me

There is a dream and it sleeps in me

To awake in the night, crying «Set me free»

And I awake every night, crying «Set me free»
