I walked through the walls with my chest out again Took off with the gates when they closed closed me in The words we exchanged were so secret and strange I knew that nobody would guess That my hair was a skirt that you wrapped around your hips As I paint wild honey upon your lips You knew I was nervous, did you do this on purpose? I might as well settle for less Well, how do you start to carve out a hole from a heart? Did somebody tell you they're hollow? The deeper and deeper you'll go 'Til the walls that you break through collapse onto you ♪ Your brothers were scared so they tore out my eyes They draped me in chains and they left me blind I pulled at the locks and set fire to the foxes But no one was listening then Well, how do you start to carve out a hole from a heart? Did somebody tell you they're hollow? The deeper and deeper you'll go 'Til the walls that you break through collapse onto you ♪ Well, I could drag this to it's obvious end But what kind of man would I be then? The gods in the front porch If that's what I'm meant for I'll take it and never look back Well, how do you start to carve out a hole from a heart? Did somebody tell you they're hollow? The deeper and deeper you'll go 'Till the walls you break through give way to a flood You scream and your mouth fills with blood But all you could do now is swallow And live like you found what you need When you're brought to your knees Don't come running to me
