Blown Apart from Ten Lives by Jenifer Freebairn

When you're blown apart
There are no words of wisdom for you
Everything just makes such a hollow sound

I had a spaceship
But I misplaced it
So now I'm down here on the pavement
Looking for clues to
Something I used to know so well

Everything I know
Right out the window
Starting all over that's how life goes
Heaven forsake us
The secrets that fate just will not tell
Fate just will not tell

When you're blown apart
There are no words of wisdom for you
Everything just makes such a hollow sound
You throw a fit, swear you'll quit
Then you start again tomorrow
Mercy takes her time
But she usually comes around

I hit a dead end
Nothing to defend
DIdn't work though I could pretend
That I'd been cheated
Somehow mistreated by a friend

It seems so hollow
No one to follow
And the mistakes are hard to swallow
But no matter how fed up
I just have to get up once again
Get up once again

When you're blown apart
There are no words of wisdom for you
Everything just makes such a hollow sound
You throw a fit, swear you'll quit
Then you start again tomorrow
Mercy takes her time
But she usually comes around

I could say I really didn't try
That I didn't give my all
Oh but that would be a lie
And either way I have to take the fall

When you're blown apart
There are no words of wisdom for you
Everything just makes such a hollow, a hollow, hollow sound
You throw a fit, swear you'll quit
Then you start again tomorrow
Mercy takes her time
But she usually comes around

You start again tomorrow
Mercy takes her time
But she usually comes around
