It’s empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you’ve left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat

But I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s called again

Because I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I’ll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the Maker’s land

So make your siren’s call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

Because I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it’s meant to be

And I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s called again

Baby, behave, we’ll make it work
Are you with me?

You’re not golden, and I’m getting tired
Act like you own the place, when really you’ve only just arrived
I caught first glimmers in hides and skins
Look who’s all grown up, black-swanning about the solar winds

You’re gonna lose it all and find yourself on your knees
So, get a grip and you might flow, reverse the great, slow bleed
I’ve tried patience, but you always want a war
This house won’t tolerate any more

The cold shoulder, folded arms and looking up
You’ve never listened, and carry on careless, regardless
This is not a fire drill and if we hold any hope
It’s harmonic connection and stereo symbiosis
These legoland empires choking out mine now
You’re everywhere, everywhere, multiplying around me
A strain on my heart, this rock can’t tolerate any more

Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now

You’re only what you give back

Baby, behave, we’ll make it work
Are you with me?

There was a time you let me know

What’s really going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
