lyrics
head over heels, waiting in line, you’ll never know what is
yours’ or is mine. stand still and tall, don’t move an inch.
safe as can be with no need to flinch. the heart may decide,
all on its own, it needs protection from all the unknown.
controlling the voice, the head and the feet, despite yourself
feeling so incomplete! the more you have to bleed, the less
you feel hollow, hollow, hollow yeah... the more you have
for grief, the less you feel sorrow, sorrow, sorrow yeah…
welcoming warmth, lies and all truth, robbing us all of our
life and our youth. bottle it up - ship it all south. stifle those thoughts before they reach your mouth.. lie, lie awake. do or
dare. will it break? forced inward again. sow the seed so that
it cannot mend! the more you have to bleed, the less you feel
hollow, hollow, hollow yeah... the more you have for grief,
the less you feel sorrow, sorrow, sorrow yeah… lie, lie awake.
do or dare. will it break? forced inward again. sow the seed
so it cannot mend and i love seasons change and on a whim
it’ll make you insane! the more you have to bleed, the less
you feel hollow, hollow, hollow yeah... the more you have for
grief, the less you feel sorrow, sorrow, sorrow yeah…
