Songtext zu 'Holes' von Michael Malarkey

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

We sleepwalk these sidewalks alone
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 what we're 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't 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, no

And 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, nooo

Hmmm

If I could retrace the deeds
In my old trajectory
Then I'd be on my way out to see
But I tried so hard

To find something to believe
As they 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't 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, no

And 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, nooo

These holes in our hearts
Are like diamonds to some
But to us, they're just holes
And they'll never go, no

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, nooo
