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 wattering eye,
to the sky in your surprise
And the sand is your blood and the hole is so big
and you shake and you pray and you beg
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
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?
Took down the dose,
cut your rope,
wanted to show yourself everything
You ran through the wires,
tasted the fires
You can't feel anything at all
Shocked by the voice again
