lyrics

This hollow beating
Keeps repeating
And its ragged pleading
Is so misleading

It’s always there
It never rests
A low dull ache
In my chest

This dark slow bleeding
Drains all feeling
Except for needing
This endless needing

It never goes out
It never rests
A pilot light
In my chest

But I am learning
Not to take this yearning
As some kind of sign
Some kind of clue
To who I should be
and what I should do

I must stop reading
Any meaning
In this hollow beating
This endless repeating

It’s always there
It never rests
A part of me
As my own breath

And it won’t stop seething
Til I stop breathing
This hollow beating…
