Hollow Horse Lyrics - Singles - Icicle Works

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
