lyrics

you in the back with the hollow eyes
your broken smile is no surprise
and you're boring holes through the front of my head
and i'm wishing i were you instead
'cause at least when you're hollowed out inside
you don't feel pain and you don't need to hide
from the one who's got your heart in hand

you feel it thumping it's a dying marching band
a barren harvest land
a bird with nowhere to

rest my burdened weakened bones
no calcium in this brittle stone
i can hear them snap almost every time
i venture to the great outside
so i claim a spot where i can see
climb the tallest redwood tree
even though the bark is as bad as the bite

if i fall or i'll fly like a hawk tonight
a bird of prey in flight
a bark as bad as the

bite my tongue and i clench my jaw
it's a wonder i have teeth at all
with cavities deeper than your hollow eyes
staring at the gaping chasm
that i would rather just ignore instead
of letting you inside my head
because now that i'm hollowed out inside
there's no more room here for you to reside
