Aching Hunger

Steve Vai

When I look down into my soul

I can see you bleeding

It's so tragic that I can't control

These wreckless feelings



I'd stand naked in the freezing wind

To your glory and honor

But how can I win this war

When I can't even face the battle



And here in my Garden Of Eden

There's a coming thunder

Well maybe if it tears me to pieces it will

Kill this aching hunger



And it hurts

You know it hurts so good

Oh it hurts



I said

Maybe in time peace will reign

And end this insanity

Maybe the meek shall inherit the earth

But I pray you inherit me



But now my Garden Of Eden

Is a barren tundra

If you could cut into my heart

You would touch my aching hunger



And it hurts

You know it hurts so good

Oh God it hurts

It hurts



Ya, and I let it burn

Because I like it

I don't mind the infection

Now it's comin' down

It's comin' down hard

It's crashin' on me



It's in a twinkle

It's in a breeze

And it passes

So subtle and elusively

Try to grab it

But it's gone and the rage that it fires up

Is like a blow torch in your face



And it hurts

Oh it hurts

Yeah, you know it hurts so good

Oh it hurts
