lyrics

Down by the empty hollow;
I might swallow this small defiance.
I might conclude that my shallow waters
were no match for your tide.

But I tried. Or I thought of it.
Oh, my love. Just not enough.

I follow light, I follow love.
Yeah, right.
Empty, and fallow,
my mind teems with impracticalities.

Oh, my love. Not enough.
Trust me not at all.

When push comes to shove
then love comes to guilt;
how remarkably hale, my generosity.
I give you more than you ask of me.

Oh my love.
Far too much.
Far too poorly.
Far too vindictive to be innocently motivated.

Watch you trip. Watch you fall.
Oh my dearest, trust me least of all.

Clink. Clank. Sink. Sank.
My heart just one big blank.
