THIS HOLLOW WORLD

Lyrics

Woke up this morning, radio moaning
Thoughts run in circles and set the day
I'm all burnt up, no resurrection
Lying here, slinging ashes at the sun
I can't find what I once knew
I can't find what I once knew

I'm worried my wires are crossed again
So worried I've lost my connection
Desperate need for more distraction
Won't you take me back to oblivion?

This hollow world is holding on to me
My soul, my mind is held magnetically
Electric friction washes over me
It feels so creepy, it feels so creepy

I'm worried I can't find what's real
Can't find any other way to feel
Blackbirds sing sad harmonies
Lost to the humming wires that feed
Useless agendas to a useless breed
All-you-can-eat in a world of need
A discount price for all your good deeds
Tell me, isn't that all you need?

I can't find what I once knew
I can't find what I once knew

This hollow world is holding on to me
My soul, my mind is held magnetically
Electric friction washes over me
It feels so creepy, it feels so creepy

Woke up this evening, television screaming
Static burns through my world of dreaming
Soothed by the light I drop my fist
And turn my cheek for a cathode ray kiss

I can't find what I once knew
I can't find what I once knew

This hollow world is holding on to me
My soul, my mind is held magnetically
Electric friction washes over me
It feels so creepy, it feels so creepy

This hollow world...
