[Verse 1]

I've got two greyhounds, they don't really go out and work much

They're more of my muscle, more muscle than it's worth

Got a caffeine system and a pouring arm

I grow cannabis in my back garden

Oh, it's much more hassle, more hassle than it's worth


[Pre-Chorus]

My parents bought me a soul when I was younger

I didn't look after it, I didn't feed its hunger

Oh, I put it in the cupboard only when they come around

My parents bought me a soul when I was younger

I didn't look after it, I didn't feed its hunger

Oh, I put it in the cupboard only when they come around


[Chorus]

But I am hollow, broken, borrowed

I am hollow, going solo

I am falling but focused

I'm dreading thе outlook

They asked me if I'm rеady to come out yet

And I said, "No way, no way, no way"

"No way, no way, no way"

I am hollow, broken, borrowed

I am falling, focused


[Verse 2]

I grow scarecrows in my back garden

Keeps away the kids and the rust

But they scare me more, more, and more than it's worth

I've got a crushing sense of awareness

And the overwhelming urge to be kind

And it hits me more, more, and more than I mind


[Pre-Chorus]

My parents bought me a soul when I was younger

I didn't look after it, I didn't feed its hunger

Oh, I put it in the cupboard only when they come around

My parents bought me a soul when I was younger

I didn't look after it, I didn't feed its hunger

I put it in the cupboard only when they come around


[Bridge]

But I am hollow

Broken, borrowed, I am hollow

Going solo

I'm falling, but focused


[Chorus]

I am hollow, broken, borrowed

I am hollow, going solo

I am, I'm falling but focused

I'm dreading the outlook

They asked me if I'm ready to come out yet, I said

"No way, no way, no way"

"No way, no way, no way"

I am broken, borrowed, hollow

I am broken
