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, 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 Now if I bury in the sand all my memories Can I abandon my peace-of-mind Because the thing about 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 Now if I bury in the sand all my memories Can I abandon my peace-of-mind Because the thing about 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 choke
