Icicle Works Hollow Horse Lyrics

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
