Its seems that I have lost myself
in this anthill on a shelf
and I've been digging holes with my teeth
so I climbed up to the top
just so I could see the drop
down to the crowded streets
and I'm sure the people are nice down there
but they don’t bother coming up for air
unless there’s a chance of rain
so I wouldn’t let myself break down
for an otherwise unwilling crowd
I will just stay up here for days
cause this is the deepest hole I've dug
to try and bury what I have loved
but I still cant hide it away
so I'll just keep on tunneling
until I say the right things
no matter how deep I dig my grave
and iv tried bottled therapy
sleeping beauties lying next to me
but I wake up and its all the same
I've already flushed my money down
and she didn’t even wait around
long enough for me to complain
so I decided I would move around
to all of the countries I had found
where nobody would place a blame
but they’re all just to busy with
their own wars and their politics
and everywhere I went it still rained
cause this is the deepest hole I’ve dug
to try and bury what I have loved
but I still cant hide it away
so I'll just keep on tunneling
until I say the right things
no matter how deep I dig my grave
