lyrics

Why don't you dig yourself an even deeper hole
Fill it up with something other than a shovel
Bury the trench and border line
Surrounding your troubles
And when the world falls in, don't let it be subtle

Why don’t you cover up the rose with more dirt
Let it rot beneath a sun you will not see
If your mind is your reality
You’ve got a twisted fate
If the ground is your insanity
Then its far too late

Just sink away
Into the mud thats taken the place
Of your clear water reflection
Distort the color with your desire for perfection

Why don't you throw another punch at your mirror
Find poetry in the blood on your broken fist
Stare at the shattered face,
As you watch your fall from grace
And still blame yourself for the uncontrolled space

Just sink away
Into the mud thats taken the place
Of your clear water reflection
Distort the color with your desire for-

Perfections not the finish of
Your lines drawn in the sand
But you let those cords tighten
Over heart and over hand
Watch the world fill up your lungs
All the sediment you dug
Will be for nothing but the empty grave that you’ve begun

Just sink away
Into the mud thats taken the place
Of your clear, sweet water reflection
Distort the color with you desire for-

Why don't you dig yourself an even deeper hole?
