Cape Disappointment is the moniker for Seattle-based songwriter, Jeffrey P. Martin. He writes “raw, honest, stripped-down” songs about places, loss, love, and life. He’s been playing all over the country for more than a decade. Everywhere from New York to Seattle. He is releasing a new song on the 12th of every month this year, and his song for today is called “We’ve All Got a Hunger”

We’ve all got a hunger,

We’ve all got a heart,

Why does it feel like,

We’re fallin’ apart?

Do you even know how?

To find your way home?

Do you have a clear path,

Or will you walk alone?

How come when we get older?

We don’t get bolder, we just fall apart?

We’ve all got a hunger

We’ve all got a thirst

Why does it feel like,

it’s only getting worse?

We’ve all got our problems

We’ve all got our needs

Why don’t we feel it,

While gettin’ the disease
