The Knowing Dirge

Now remain very quiet
Keep your eyes open

I can still see through my own eyes

In the shadow of what's real
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 watering eye
to the sky in your surprise
all that sand used to be you
before you opened it so wide

And the sand is your blood and the hole is so big
and you shake and you pray and you beg

You know why

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

Yeah

You know why

Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah

YouYouYou
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?

You took down the dose
cut your own rope
Wanted to show yourself everything
You ran through the wire
tasted the fire
You can't feel anything at all

Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah Hoo hoo hoo
Yeah-yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
