Michael Malarkey - Holes lyrics

Hmmm... 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. Hmmm...
