It's like it wasn't empty (What I thought about it) I thought it would be empty (Thought a lot about it) In nineteen hundred twenty We were up above it And then when we were twenty Thought we'd learn to love it You put your veins all in it I used my blood to fill it And still it wouldn't breathe Wouldn't breathe Wouldn't breathe And then I tried to override the system But all the waves had ways Of crashing down But there were times of plenty And we danced around it But in the times of plenty Had no way to ground it Had no way to ground it Had no way to ground it You had your veins all in it And so we couldn't kill it And still it wouldn't breathe Wouldn't breathe Wouldn't breathe And then I tried to override the system But all the waves had ways of crashing And then I tried to override the system But all the waves had ways Of crashing down The ghost we came to know Had overactive undertow The ghost we came to know Was living in the ground below The ghost we came to know Could never let the system go The ghost we came to know The ghost of all we know And then I tried to override the system But all the waves had ways of crashing And then I tried to override the system But all the waves had ways Of crashing down
