to co-opt and to rebel

suck the heart out and leave the shell

stuff it down you’ll never tell

it falls apart, imperfect hell

it’s a hollow sound and you make it well

that hollow sound, you make it well

a knock at the door

a dog at the gate

a dropping pin

an altered state

it’s a hollow sound and you make it well

that hollow sound, you make it well

feels worse even though it aint

less than novel, more than quaint

to make a new connection

let’s start this insurrection

it’s a hollow sound and you make it well

that hollow sound, you make it well
