The Growlers - Hollowed Out My Heart lyrics

I hollowed out my heart When I set for sea Just so I could float past all this debris I'd sink like a stone with a heart that heavy And I'd sail half-mast without dignity So I hollowed out my heart with a knife and a spoon Carving out her face took me all afternoon I carved out her eyes, they were covered in gold Every thought, every memory in the hold moldy cold It looked like coffee with not too much cream I poured out her skin in a thick, winding stream Each drop that drip, the sea took a sip And the wind blew me further in my empty-hearted ship And the more that I carve The less that I starve I cut out her lips cause those lips might stick Not sick of home, no I'm not homesick Yes I hollowed out my heart with a spoon and a knife I did this till dawn in the pale moonlight I hollowed out my heart when I set for sea Just so I could float past all this debris I'd sink like a stone with a heart that heavy Don't don't don't anchor me, don't anchor me Don't anchor me, don't anger me, aahh [Outro - x9 / until end] (Down into the bottom, down to the rocks Follow me, follow me, follow me down)
