Built My Home on Hollow Ground

Built my home on hollow ground
 Too proud to grow from my roots
 I got a few friends and I wish they were mine
 Can't get close 'til I buy my time
 There's a closet for the pretty ones
 They have no eyes but they're a hell of a sight
 Get too close and you'll find a bridge between you
 Cross it to find your synthetic light
 Built my home on hollow ground
 Too proud to grow from my roots
 I got a few friends and I wish they were mine
 Can't get close 'til I buy my time
 There's a man who lives in your favorite watch
 He rides the second hand until he slips
 He holds on tight, but no fail he falls
 At twelve and lands on six
 Built my home on hollow ground
 Too proud to grow from my roots
 I got a few friends and I wish they were mine
 Can't get close 'til I buy my time
 There's a school for trolls (A school for trolls)
 That teaches them how to make a human cry: (A human cry)
 Tell them that they're lovely, then say (Lovely, say)
 You always lie
 (Ha ha ha ha ha)
 Built my home on hollow ground
 Too proud to grow from my roots
 I got a few friends and I wish they were mine
 Can't get close 'til I buy my time
 No, I can't get close
 'Til I buy my time
