The Hole by Evacuate Chicago Lyrics
Twenty days, six hours, forty-two minutes, twelve seconds
That is when the world will end
Wake up tired — just like yesterday
Face the music — I don't wanna play
I am here but — I am somewhere else
Gone already — to my private hell
Those around me — seem so far away
Lost in notion — led myself astray
Getting nowhere — faster all the time
I am strong, yet I'm losing my mind
Because I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
The same shit, different day, stands in the way
And now I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
There's only so much that a person can take
Same old itching — scratch it anyway
Simple problems — endless disarray
Tangled signposts — sometimes missing parts
I'd sort it out but — I don't know where to start
Moving faster — progress slowing down
Feels like falling — but haven't hit the ground
Pick myself up — then fall on my face
Please God, won't you take it away
Because I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
The same shit, different day, stands in the way
And now I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
There's only so much that a person can take before he breaks
There's only so much that a person can take
I know that I can stop this
But I'm too tired to try
If I could catch my breath I
Might then take back my life
But I can't stop this
Now that I'm here, gotta roll with the punch
And I know, I gotta go, still I'm falling apart
And so I try again, fail, and I try it again
I got nothing left to lose but the shit I am in
Energy gone, losing my sight
My spirit getting weaker, losing the fight
Blow after blow, wearing me down
I've been treading water, now I'm starting to drown
Fuck
When everything is lost
And there's no one left to blame
I'm such an easy target
The one that I've been taught to hate
When all that's good seems gone
And pain's my only friend
You'll find me in my hole
Wishing it all would end
When all that's good seems gone
And pain's my only friend
You'll find me in my hole
I'm tired of the bullshit
I'm tired of the pain
I'm sick of feeling cornered
I'm sick of wearing chains
Something's gotta happen
Something's gotta give
Something's around the corner
Urging me to live
I guess it's time to get up out of the bed I've made me
(wake up or you'll sleep forever)
This coffin isn't nailed shut, escape before I'm buried
(Get up or you'll lie to yourself)
Something's gotta happen
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta happen
Someone's gotta live
That is when the world will end
Wake up tired — just like yesterday
Face the music — I don't wanna play
I am here but — I am somewhere else
Gone already — to my private hell
Those around me — seem so far away
Lost in notion — led myself astray
Getting nowhere — faster all the time
I am strong, yet I'm losing my mind
Because I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
The same shit, different day, stands in the way
And now I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
There's only so much that a person can take
Same old itching — scratch it anyway
Simple problems — endless disarray
Tangled signposts — sometimes missing parts
I'd sort it out but — I don't know where to start
Moving faster — progress slowing down
Feels like falling — but haven't hit the ground
Pick myself up — then fall on my face
Please God, won't you take it away
Because I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
The same shit, different day, stands in the way
And now I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
There's only so much that a person can take before he breaks
There's only so much that a person can take
I know that I can stop this
But I'm too tired to try
If I could catch my breath I
Might then take back my life
But I can't stop this
Now that I'm here, gotta roll with the punch
