Never Hollowed By The Stare

Subjects are thrown around the room
Looking for the ones that got away
A feeling of soft anticipation
Another confrontation I won’t make
But how do we do it?
We turned into something else entirely, we fake it
But I wanted it so desperately to be real

Run, run, holding on to some pieces that you left behind
Hope now, as I walk away, you’re the one that finds me out
Run from the only thing left that I hold close

While he’s letting you in
You’ve got the feeling you’ve been followed under your skin
It will be weighing on your shoulder, believe it

If I could express it in a different dialect or in a delicate way
I’d capture the phrases inside the cage beneath my chest
And keep it locked for days
I wanted you so desperately to believe me

Run, run, why are you running from another conversation?
Someone that I’ve been planning on, you’re the one that finds me out
There’s nowhere, now I found you, that I won’t go

While he’s letting you in
You’ve got the feeling you’ve been followed under your skin
It will be weighing on your shoulder
You’ve got that seed in you
You’ve got that seed in you

Run, run, what are you running from?
Let all your small steps expose your secrets
You don’t have to speak for me to believe it
But what do you mean? Yeah…

Shaken and faint, you’ve got the feeling
You’ve been followed under your skin
It will be weighing on your shoulder
You’ve got that seed in you
You’ve got that seed in…
While letting you in
You’ve got the feeling you’ve been followed
Are you listening to anything I’ve said, said
To anything I’ve said, said
You’ve got that seed in you

Shaken and faint, it was the hardest thing to swallow
Pretending you don’t miss me
You’ve got that seed in you
You’ve got that seed in…
While letting you in, I’ll be thinking about tomorrow
And every time we cross those lines
You’ve got that seed in you
You’ve got that seed in…

I hope now, as I walk away, you’re the one that finds me out

I remember the first words that you ever said
Burried soft like seeds deep in my chest
I wanna know who you are
I wanna know who you are

Your hands like winter, eyes like wings
And the first kiss cut like ice in the spring
I wanna know who you are
I sleep deep in the dark

So come and take it all, leave a note for the world
I’ll be back from the sky
When the red earth cries for the girls
Stumble into love like a challenge above
But I ache with the fear that my fate is to yell and to yearn

White roses at the front door
Our legs intertwined when it rains on the porch
I wanna know who you are
I hunt for blood like a shark

So I’m running back to the lock of your arms
Baby, you know I never hit the mark
I wanna know who you are
‘Cause you’re the reason I’ve got so far

So come and take it all, leave a note for the world
I’ll be back from the sky
When the red earth cries for the girls
Stumble into love like a challenge above
But I ache with the fear that my fate is to yell and to yearn

I leave it up to all the will that lives inside me
But I’d kill to keep you here right next to me
There’s something in the way I’m lifted
When I hear your name there’s nothing
That can touch what you have made

So come and take it all, leave a note for the world
I’ll be back from the sky
When the red earth cries for the girls
Stumble into love like a challenge above
But I ache with the fear that my fate is to yell and to yearn
