Up at ungodly hours
i do myself no favours
i’m creeping on the floor
hoping to get more
of that unhealthy flavour
the questions keep coming
the questions keep piling
and I’m nowhere near an answer
early afternoon, I’m holed up in my room
and if can feel the rumble of my last train
where do i go to do what
what’s my place, what’s my face
there’s still time, time, there’s still time
ooh baby now
keep me parted
keep me split in
just how many tiny bits and pieces that will into my shirt
read me stories of vanity and hubris
how the cureless dreamers always stumble in the dust
the questions keep coming
the questions keep piling
and I’m nowhere near an answer
early afternoon, I’m holed up in my room
and if can feel the rumble of my last train
where do i go to do what
what’s my place, what’s my face
there’s still time, time, there’s still time
ooh baby now

Dig Myself a Hole

Am I left with all bones and all my toys?
There’s no reason to be scared, to be cold
We’re not meant to suffer, no, but beauty wears out
I’ve yet to see the glory of the struggle
I’ll dig myself a hole
Where the thunder’s down to nothing
And I’ll dig myself a hole
Where being a man won’t hurt
Faceless memories are gliding through the night
The lake is darker than the dream it swallowed
And if I’m meant to suffer, I might as well know
This inner wandering is worse than sorrow
I’ll dig myself a hole
Where the thunder’s down to nothing
And I’ll dig myself a hole
Where being a man won’t hurt
No matter just how hard you try, how much you fall
can’t you see there’s no joy in the struggle?
After summer comes the fall, and you should have known
A man’s world seems so small from the sky above
I’ll dig myself a hole
Where the thunder’s down to nothing
And I’ll dig myself a hole
Where being a man won’t hurt
