Hollow Me Out

from TURN THAT SILENCE UP by Eat This McKinley

lyrics

i remember when he called you from the bottom of a sixteen. the room is dark and a photograph slowly forms. every moment that we ever had will be replaced with security. dump the kid, don’t move in with him: i’m yours. can’t give you a past back or a future. can’t give you a place to live. but i’d give you what’s inside of me though you might have to dig. you’re barely clinging to a fence in the backyard of a memory. never will we ever get to be at home. overgrown with weeds, photographs, forgotten possibilities. dump the kid. get out of this alone. can’t give you a past back or a future. can’t give you a place to live. but i’d give you what’s inside of me though you might have to dig. hollow me out and you can have a new place to hide. hollow me out and you can carve a new past inside. cause you’re the kind of a girl that i want to hang with. i’m not quite sure how i should play this but maybe i’ll get better with practice. your purse in your lap, ready to dip. you didn’t dodge this by accident. the tv we ignore goes to static. this is the summer that i wont forget. moments extend cause of broken shit. heavy lies the crown made of plastic. i’d steal a rooftop and plant it here, replace your virginity, buy a volvo and paint your room the way it was when you were fifteen. i’m gonna learn how to disappear and get ripped from your memory. hollow me out. i’ll be fine. cause there’s nothing left inside of me.
