Lyrics for In This Hole
In this hole that we have fixed We get further and further and further From the world We must do I saw you asleep beside a wall Your skull inside a ball Your eyes blackened by The sound and the thought of God Where should I hang my head? Where would you like for me to hang my head? One absence of truth And one horrible thing I saw What you truly wanted to become And who you thought I was The fall, the fall Afraid to love What is deeper than the grave Goes all the way down those tracks Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration Complete contradiction Away In this hole that we have fixed We get further and further From the world We must do I know this, I know this You know this, you know this In this hole that we have fixed We get further and further and further From the world We must do I saw you outside that wall Your skull outside that wall Your eyes perceived by the sound And the light of God
