Paroles de The Knowing Dirge

In the shadow of what's real
you dig a hole down in the sand
where you know you left it all
the things that make you understand.

And guide your hand.

Then you turn with watering eye
to the sky in your surprise
all that sand used to be you
before you opened it so wide.

And the sand is your blood, and the hole is so big
and you shake, and you pray, and you beg.

You know why.

You know why...
With your watering eye you've got a hole inside
such a wretched life, don't look so surprised.

You know why.

Yeah.

You know why. You...You...You...
You did this to yourself again.
Gunning for a bluer sky.
Swallowed the dose,
cut your own rope...
Just to know it all.

Do you know it all?

You took down the dose,
cut your own rope.
wanted to show yourself everything.
you ran through the wires,
tasted the fires.

But you can't feel anything at all.

Yeah...yeah.
Yeah...yeah...(etc., etc.)
