Hollow Horse Lyrics

Be careful what you dream of
It may come up and surprise you
I can't confess my life's a mess
I've come to idolize you

You liken it to walking on hot coals
I'll keep my boots on
Wisen up and fly straight
There's a shape on the horizon

In a hollow horse I'll steal my way
Inside your guarded heart
So selfishly the needs I harbor
When we are apart

My past strung out behind me
Contradiction and disaster
I'm in search of charity
A union I could master

We'll be as we are when all the fools
Who doubt us fade away
Fortune deep and wide
Intimidated, restless in the wait

Things I chose to value
I no longer have a use for
I ridicule myself for all the things
Those symbols stood for

When vanity has played a part
In every leader's downfall
Wait to storm the gates, what's left
Undone to hang around for

We'll be as we are when all the fools
Who doubt us fade away
Fortune deep and wide
Intimidated, restless in the wait
