Lyrics

I walked through the walls with my chest out again
Took off with the gates when they closed me in
The words we exchanged
Were so secret and strange
I knew that nobody would guess
That my hair was the skirt that you wrapped 'round your hips
As I'd paint wild honey upon your lips
You knew I was nervous
Did you do this on purpose?
Might as well settle for less
Well, how do you start
To carve out a home from a heart?
Did somebody tell you they're hollow?
But deeper and deeper you'll go
'Til the walls 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, said "Set fire to the foxes!"
"Set fire to the foxes!"
But no one was listening then
Well, how do you start
To carve out a home from a heart?
Did somebody tell you they're hollow?
But deeper and deeper you'll go
'Til the walls you break through
Collapse onto you
Well, I could drag this to its obvious end
But what kind of man would I be then?
The garden, 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 home from a heart?
Did somebody tell you they're hollow?
But deeper and deeper you'll go
'Til the walls you break through
Give way to a flood
You scream, and your mouth fills with blood
But all you can do now is swallow
And live like you've found what you need
When you're brought to your knees
Don't come running to me
