Shallow Hill
...A small ache - not so bad but it lingers

C'mon we gotta' keep moving I said
As everybody passed me by
If I can just top this shallow hill
I can see where the mountain lies
Don't want to flatline in the flatlands
And we can almost coast up this hill
Please don't fault me if I falter

I feel a change in my disposition
Don't really want to be in this position
Lost my sense of humor and I lost my list
And everybody passed me by
Just don't fault me, just don't falter

The ground was hollow under our heels
Took me years to feel how much was getting crushed
Under our wheels
Hollow echo of my heels....

I think I feel it in my fingers
A small ache - not too bad but it lingers
Not sure what I should hold on to
I'm pretty sure I see the same in you
I think I saw it on my sweet friend's face
We're just searching for the last safe place
Please don't fault me, please don't falter

The ground was hollow under our heels
Took me years to feel how much was getting crushed
Under our wheels
Hollow echo of my heels....

C'mon we gotta' keep moving I said
As everybody passed me by
If I can just top this shallow hill
I can see where the mountain lies
Don't want to flatline in the flatlands
And we can almost coast up this hill
Please don't fault me if I falter

The ground was hollow under our heels
Took me years to feel how much was getting crushed
Under our wheels
Hollow echo of my heels
The ground was hollow under our heels
Took me years to feel how much was getting crushed
Under our wheels
Hollow echo of my heels....
