you were born with a hole in your chest
now you put your heart before your head
one mark for every day
one mark for every day
nothing can surprise you, nothing at all
you'll walk under ladders or challenge the sea
sit on the roof tops if it makes you feel free
one hole for everyone
one hole for everyone you ever knew

you know they worship the one, make themselves numb
put themselves above whatever level you're on
there's a tyrant in all and everyone
there's a tyrant in all and everyone

once you said it felt like fire burning in your head
you wet yourself time and again 'cause you were so afraid of it
the biggest bird you've ever seen swept down in your dreams
night after night, there's no way out
from that moment you always knew
that you were born with a hole in your heart
now you are where you were right from the start
now you sleep under the cold blooded stars
something sad for everyone
something sour to swallow
something fun to talk about
just another story to tell the laughing crowd
