I will open this book and the words I see, I'll read aloud
So you can understand what the story's all about
Hollow glances in the backseat of a speeding mangled car
We're all about to die
We're all about to...
Sit back, we're heading for the stars
Our battered lies and thick cigars
The feedback that we got was a reflection of our thoughts
These hearts, they race back to the times when we were so young and alive
We had such hollow lives
We had such hollow lives
I will sit on this park bench and watch you waste your life away
With you not knowing the choices you make are big mistakes
Hollow voices in the corner of a nearby vacant lot
We don't know what we've got
We don't know what we've...
Got ourselves into, because we don't know who or what to trust
We live like towers, and we think the world revolves below us
The songs that we sing are just hopeful that we'll say the things we mean
These words don't mean a thing
These words don't mean a thing
I'll just try to keep my head on straight
But notice how you're saying
We've got it all under control
I'll just try to keep my head on straight
But notice how you're saying
We've got it all under control
I will open this book and the words I see, I'll read aloud
So you can understand what the story's all about
Hollow glances in the backseat of a speeding mangled car
We're all about to die
We're all about to...
Sit back, we're heading for the stars
Our battered lies and thick cigars
The feedback that we got was a reflection of our thoughts
These hearts, they race back to the times when we were so young and alive
We had such hollow lives
We were so hollow
