Skittish - The Hole lyrics
[Skittish - The Hole lyrics]
I sat strange in a new city
Much too old to make new friends
And I paid a patient ear
And then double for some hands
Cause, I am my favorite habit's
Yeah and I could use a win
But the hole is always hungry so
I take it on the chin
And the morning after wrapped up in a sheet
Well my rant was fueled by a high dwindling
So bright hours earlier
Dulled by morning sun
Left with nothing sharper than
The evidence of fun i said
"I can take you away from here and
Save you from these lonely years"
As she stood insidе my doorway
Thin as alcoholic's blood
And her head it tilted slightly to
Rеcall the speech she’d done
Oh so many times before, she
Said, "I like it here, i don’t need saving
I am happy, I’m no damsel, or a proxy"
And it's probably for the best
Cause, I’d rather be sleeping
When I have to pay the piper
And it's feeding time again
I’ll try again, I’ll fail again
But next time I’ll fail better
(when the fever breaks, when
The buzz is gone, take a breath
Before, your comfort will bring you
Down, gotta let it go
Next time will be yours)
Aces and eights, ‘bout damn time I
Trade ‘em in, before the rake
For a script pad and a pen
And then when the darkness lifted
It was oh so bittersweet
Like the end of a long marriage
Where I missed it's company
But my options all dissolved
Slowly by acidic years
What the hell do it do now
Why would I want to see this clear?
Now I’m alternating between
Celebrating and recuperating
Retribution for the notion that
I’m someone’s special something
God and I rarely see eye to eye
Pascal made a wager and so will I
Cause the hole comes back
Almost every single night
There’s no way to fill it up
But lord knows I’ve tried
I’ll try again, I’ll try
Again, I’ll fail again
But next time I’ll fail better
Holy Ghost, take me home
I’m sorry if you thought that
I could make you whole
Separate from gen pop
A hole to make your myth up
In that shell you picked up
You hear what you wanna hear
Cause, I’ll muddy your clean waters
Then complain about my thirst
Playing chicken with the android
Hoping he blinks first
Now it's 2 am ATM withdrawal
Old enough to know better
High enough to forget
I don’t like my situation but
Not enough to change it
(maybe you’re just not that interesting)
A part apart from partners but appreciative
Of being included in the whole
Easy to like but hard to love
Cause their eyes are little mirrors throwing
Back just what I do if I won’t excel for me
Then I’ll excel for you
I’ll try again, I’ll fail again
But next time I’ll fail better
(when the fever breaks, when
The buzz is gone, take a breath
Before, your comfort will bring you
Down, gotta let it go
Next time will be yours)
Much too old to make new friends
And I paid a patient ear
And then double for some hands
Cause, I am my favorite habit's
Yeah and I could use a win
But the hole is always hungry so

And the morning after wrapped up in a sheet
