Digging Holes

Digging holes
Where did I go wrong in life?
Digging holes
Sticking a shovel into my own regrets
The wind howls through the woods
The night owl's crying out
Under the bright full moon
Watched over at two in the morning

Digging holes
That guy finally made his move
Digging holes
This is a pitfall for the outcasts
Wiping away the sweat
But I can't wipe away the regret
Only my bad luck
Sticks to my chest like a medal
In the gaping darkness
Childhood fantasies flicker around
My dad used to say
Even the wicked can go to heaven

'Cause even God is a sinner
And even a kid knows that
Whether I cry, laugh, or pray
The fact I was born into this world is proof
Maybe that's just how life is
The sooner you give up, the better
I gave up on myself
Gave up right after I was born

Digging holes
For that friend who used to be there
Digging holes
For a friend who won't move anymore
With the light of the streetlamp
My shadow looks like a demon
On the streets of this town
It's a common story for the end
If I could just get through it
Everything should have worked out
My dad used to say
Hope brings along despair

'Cause even God is a sinner
Just gives you enough hope to hold on
Whether I cry, laugh, or pray
The trick is to drop you in the end
Maybe that's just how life is
The sooner you give up, the better
I gave up on myself
Gave up right after I was born

Digging holes
With a gun pointed at my back
Digging holes
Digging a hole for myself
What a ridiculous life, it's laughable
It pisses me off, why is it always me?
Living a life that tears this life apart
Digging holes
Digging holes
Digging holes
Digging holes

Anyway, I’m a sinner too
And that was decided since I was a kid
Whether I cry, laugh, or pray
I can't choose where I'm born
Maybe that's just how life is
The sooner you give up, the better
Otherwise, you become a foolish person
Then you end up swimming in a life of giving up
A person
A person who can't give up
That's what I'll become.
