THE WORDS
Lyrics.
Heavy grunge.
Hollow Orchard / Track 02
Copper on my tongue again A long night crawling out of bed Clean shirt hanging on a nail Same cold weather in my head
I keep the engine running hot On everything I haven't said Everybody calls me tough Like it's something in my blood
Count the rings, count the years You can't see the rot from here Every branch is hanging low There's something underneath you don't know
Heavy in the crown! Hollow at the root! You can hang your gold on me But I can't carry you!
Heavy in the crown! Hear that splitting sound! Everything you built on me Is coming down!
Coming down! Coming down!
Tie a ribbon to the limb Tell the neighbors how I've grown Every time I give an inch They find another thing to own
Somebody says I'm doing fine Like they're handing me a prize I can feel the whole thing lean Every time I close my eyes
Say I'm strong, say I'm tall You can hear the timber call Dig down deep beneath the ground There's nothing left to hold me now
Heavy in the crown! Hollow at the root! You can hang your gold on me But I can't carry you!
Heavy in the crown! Hear that splitting sound! Everything you built on me Is coming down!
You called it strength I called it fear I kept my mouth shut Year after year
One more nail One more stone You built your whole world On what I owned
I was somebody Before it all!
Heavy in the crown! Hollow at the root! You can hang your gold on me But I won't carry you!
Heavy in the crown! Hear that splitting sound! Everything you built on me Is coming down!
I'm coming down! I'm coming down!
But you won't pull me down!
