Thrice - Deeper Wells (Deeper Wells) lyrics
[Thrice - Deeper Wells Deeper Wells lyrics]
We wanna build a bigger fence
We say it's only common sense
We gotta keep the good ones in the fold
Every year we raise it higher
We add a little razor wire
And then we paint the whole
Thing white and gold
We keep building bigger fences
Building bigger fences
Building bigger fences
When we should be digging deeper wells
So I wanna see your hands
I wanna see your hands
I wanna see your hands
Cracked from clawing through the filth
But we let our nightmares win
We're terrified of boogeymen
We gotta keep the bad ones in the cold
We lock the gate and keep it shut
On those that never make the cut
Who never learned to do
Just what they're told
We keep building bigger fences
Building bigger fences
Building bigger fences
When we should be digging deeper wells
So I wanna see your hands
I wanna see your hands
I wanna see your hands
Cracked from clawing through the filth
Don't let them out don't let them in
Don't let them out don't let them in
Don't let them out don't let them in
Don't let them out don't let
Don't let them in don't let them in
We say it's only common sense
We gotta keep the good ones in the fold
Every year we raise it higher
We add a little razor wire
And then we paint the whole
Thing white and gold
We keep building bigger fences
Building bigger fences
Building bigger fences
When we should be digging deeper wells
So I wanna see your hands
I wanna see your hands
I wanna see your hands
Cracked from clawing through the filth
But we let our nightmares win
We're terrified of boogeymen
We gotta keep the bad ones in the cold
We lock the gate and keep it shut
On those that never make the cut
Who never learned to do
Just what they're told
We keep building bigger fences
Building bigger fences
Building bigger fences
When we should be digging deeper wells
So I wanna see your hands
I wanna see your hands
I wanna see your hands
Cracked from clawing through the filth
Don't let them out don't let them in
Don't let them out don't let them in
Don't let them out don't let them in
Don't let them out don't let
Don't let them in don't let them in
