|
I'm climbing out of the hole |
|
That I've been digging |
|
Throwing out all the blue prints |
|
I have drawn up for the safe house |
|
I stashed away enough food for forty days |
|
Gallons of water, first aid and propane |
|
And some wine to entertain |
|
I'm always planning for the worst |
|
I signed my will right after birth |
|
I've got my eulogy rehearsed |
|
I fall to pieces |
|
And I get weak in the knees |
|
When I think about eternity |
|
Have I been led astray? |
|
Feeling like they forgot me |
|
He had the right name |
|
But the wrong street |
|
I'm pulling nails out from the coffin |
|
I'm gasping for air |
|
My eyes are full just like the moon |
|
I've got a silver bullet stare |
|
The holy grail that |
|
I was taught |
|
Was fiction but the fact is that |
|
It's not in communion with my thoughts |
|
The vultures circle overhead |
|
Hanging like halos for the dead |
|
But I'm not suited for one yet |
|
I fall to pieces |
|
And I get weak in the knees |
|
When I think about eternity |
|
Have I been led astray? |
|
Feeling like they forgot me |
|
He had the right name |
|
But the wrong street |
|
I'm a number in a lottery |
|
Life's a boardwalk game |
|
God rigged to cheat |
|
As the snow falls |
|
All along the peaks |
|
My minds an avalanche |
|
I'm digging through to reach |
|
All the things |
|
I've tried |
|
To shove down deep |
|
My minds an avalanche |
|
I'm digging through to reach |
|
If I could run but with this speed |
|
I'm bound to be buried here underneath |
|
A tidal wave triggered to teach |
|
That life on an island isn't what it seems |
|
I'm cutting off my toes |
|
Just so that |
|
I can spite my feet |
|
I fall to pieces |
|
And I get weak in the knees |
|
When I think about eternity |
|
Have I been led astray |
|
Feeling like they forgot me |
|
He had the right name |
|
But the wrong street |
