Holes

(álbum: Knots - 2015)

Hmmmm, hmmmm

In the old city now
All the cars have turned brown
And the skyscrapers sway
And prepare to fall down

In the evenings, we sleepwalk these sidewalks alone
But return to our dim-lit rooms
And the drone of our bones
And these bodies we know

When we try to leave town
We just turn back around
And forget we were trying to leave anyhow

In the mornings, we wake to the birth of the light
Forgetting the night
And we go and we work and we talk
And we laugh and pretend that we know
We'd rather be
Alone

So, we crave the day
That we can escape
But the only way out of this place
Is too scary
So we stay

And these holes in our hearts
Are like diamonds to some
But to us, they're just holes
And they'll never go numb
These holes in our hearts
Are like diamonds to some
But to us, they're just holes
And they hurt
And they'll never go numb

Hmmmm, hmmmm

If I could retrace the deeds
In my old trajectory
Maybe then I would be
On my way out to sea
But I tried so hard
To find something to believe
I just found the gaps in the holes
And they told me to solve
Where nothing would grow

When our minds fizzle out
When our skin has gone cold
When the oceans run red
When our stories unfold

Then we'll disappear entirely
And nobody will know who we were at all
It's the best way to fall
And return to this world as another
And wander this place like a stranger
Wondering why
We're here

So, we crave the day
That we can escape
But the only way out of this place
Is too scary
So we stay

And these holes in our hearts
Are like diamonds to some
But to us, they're just holes
And they'll never go numb
These holes in our hearts
Are like diamonds to some
But to us, they're just holes
And they hurt
And they'll never go numb

These holes in our hearts
Are like diamonds to some
But to us, they're just holes
And they'll never go numb
These holes in our hearts
Are like diamonds to some
But to us, they're just holes
And they hurt
And they'll never go numb

Hmmmm, hmmmm
