Hollow - Stacked Like Pancakes

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 I 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

(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 the 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

(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 the sand is that it slips through your hands

A reminder that I’m out of time

Now if I bury in the sand all my memories

Can I abandon my peace of mind?

Because the thing about the sand is that it slips through your hands

A reminder that I’m out of time, I’m out of time (OH!)

I’m out of time!

I’m out of time!

I’m out of time!

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
