I've taken so many down, I've helped them all to dismount.
I've followed so many down, I take their hand me downs.
All with hope, all with hope that
Emptiness brings fullness and
Loss of love brings wholeness to us all.
Everything that I believe crawls from underneath the streets.
Everything I truly love comes from somewhere high above.
Everything that I believe is wrong with you is wrong with me.
Everything I truly love I love in you and I love in me.
So give me hope, give me hope that
Emptiness brings fullness and
Loss of love brings wholeness to us all.
Swear you can't swim the river,
I saw you running to jump in.
I swore I would never be your sinner,
Until I held your sin.
Now you ask me why I'm here.
The same as you, I'm scared - it's fear.
I've become the beggar now, you've become the saint somehow.
Twist the words and place the blame. Tell me now aren't we the same?
Tripping in our yellow feet, checking underneath our sheets,
For some hope, give me hope that
Emptiness brings fullness and
Loss of love brings wholeness to us all.

rip it out, deep from the ground
so nothing grows back in its place
don't keep it alive when it touches the air
let it die cold in the summer day

when we fall
when we fall
when we fall far away
oh, when their bony children will cause seasons to change
every day

when it's time for the first breath
let it be one smooth sail
cut up real
let me see the inside
selfish claims love at first sight

when we hand
when we hand
when we hand down our hopes
oh, who will be the first to realize
they're all alone

when we fall
when we fall
when we fall far away
oh, when their bony children will cause seasons to change

rip it out, deep from the ground
so nothing grows back in its place
don't keep it alive when it touches the air
let it die cold in the summer day

when it's time for the first breath
let it be one smooth sail
cut up real
let me see the inside
selfish claims love at first sight

I know we're in September
And this is my house
And this is my town
But my clothes are in the case
And I am leaving
Don't tell me what you spent it on
You always lie
You always lie
And it's a decision
I am leaving

We used to say for fun
Lets say you lived
And then you did
You were the leader of us all
The perfect fall

You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
And it's a decision
So I am leaving

The powder's in the kitchen
The spoon is on the floor
Your sister says it's different now
I don't believe her anymore

[Chorus]
And I don't want your hand me downs
They're old
They're all worn out
I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs

So now I'm in this hotel room
I'm free and droning on
But the musi's way too loud
I wanna skip to the next song

The glass is on the counter
The sheets are on the floor
Your sister says it's not the same
I don't believe her anymore
[Chorus]

So you lie yourself to sleep tonight
But you won't think of me
Cuz your world revolves around you
Or so it seems
Or so it seems
And you can't get off
And I can't get on
Yourself is all you see
And I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs anymore

You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
And it's a decision
So I am leaving
