Rocks With Holes Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

the rocks with holes are cold in her pocket 

the clock controls the payroll in her rocket 

her eyeballs roll and roll in their sockets 

her teachers can't stand it- her teachers say "stop it" 

she sticks to the topic- her parents say "drop it" 

running in circles is running around 

back and forth motion ain't traveling 

sinking infinitely into the sound 

while everyone she knows is sleeping 

she packs all her dreams in a glass elevator 

drops the remainder and says "see you later, 

i'm gonna get high and find me skater" 

she tries but, for some reason, no one will date her 

she lies and gets mad and makes everyone hate her 

running in circles is running around 

back and forth motion ain't traveling 

sinking infinitely into the sound 

while everyone she knows is sleeping 

is she misleading or is she misled? 

day after day she just stays in her bed 

tries to get up but lays down instead 

smiles to herself and says "i'm in the red!" 

her heart stops screaming and she knows she's dead 

running in circles is running around 

back and forth motion ain't traveling 

sinking infinitely into the sound 

while everyone she knows is sleeping 

suddenly there are clouds all around and the clouds all around her are warm 

she is so comfortable she never felt this way before 

she says "i'm in heaven, i am certain, these aren't the clouds of a storm" 

she opens her eyes to her doctor's surprise 

and says "i don't want to be dead anymore" 

she said "i don't want to be dead anymore" 

running in circles is running around 

back and forth motion ain't traveling 

sinking infinitely into the sound 

while everyone she knows is sleeping 

maybe next year she'd get a guitar 

make up some songs and sing them in bars 

the people might love her and call her a star 

but she'd never know if she stayed in a hole 

encompassed by darkness and out of control 

running in circles is running around 

back and forth motion ain't traveling 

sinking infinitely into the sound 

while everyone she knows is watching 

sinking infinitely into the sound 

while everyone she knows is laughing 

sinking infinitely into the sound 

while everyone she knows is clapping 

sinking infinitely into the sound 

while everyone she knows is happy 

everyone she knows is happy 

everyone she knows is happy
