Lyrics Hollow - Stacked Like Pancakes

Hollow

My heart is young like an infant
It beats faster when I’m by myself
Why can’t I love from a distance?
You make me nervous as hell
I’m like an old dog learning new tricks
I’m free with a collar still 'round my neck
I’m ready for love or a quick fix
Hello I don’t believe we’ve met yet
I’m tryin' to find a reason to abandon my peace of mind
I’m tryin' to find a reason but I’m running out of time
Her smile has a way of deception
And I’m sweet like a butterfly under distress
Her skin is soft like paper
Always smooth 'till you get to the edge
(always smooth 'till you get to the edge)
Now if I bury in the sand all my memories
Can I abandon my peace of mind?
Because the thing about the sand is that it slips through your hands
A reminder that I’m out of time
It’s not an easy thing, you know?
When you think as much as you breathe
But sometimes I still fear I’ll choke
On these feelings inside of me
Let’s go to the fair, there’s a sweet ride
Never been on a date before
My money is all you need, right?
That’s what I’ve seen before
I’m tryin' to find a reason to abandon my peace of mind
I’m tryin' to find a reason but I’m running out of time
My blood is water with red dye
I’m hollowed out with nothing inside
Please paint me a heart with a palette knife
I’m slowly waiting for the afterlife
(I'm slowly waiting for the afterlife)
Now if I bury in the sand all my memories
Can I abandon my peace of mind?
Because the thing about the sand is that it slips through your hands
A reminder that I’m out of time
Now if I bury in the sand all my memories
Can I abandon my peace of mind?
Because the thing about the sand is that it slips through your hands
A reminder that I’m out of time, I’m out of time (OH!)
I’m out of time!
I’m out of time!
I’m out of time!
I’m out of time!
It’s not an easy thing you know
When you think as much as you breathe
But sometimes I choke
