Battered - The Dig lyrics

rate me

[Music: Herløe / Glesnes, Lyrics: Olaisen]<br />

<br />

I hate with what is left of me<br />

Too blind to reason<br />

Too dumb to know<br />

I don't care... <br />

I probed your fucking head there was nothing there<br />

But I hope to God that when I step back, <br />

I will see I was wrong, tough I know that I'm not<br />

<br />

Hard on the outside, ripe within<br />

But when I dig, I find... <br />

<br />

I paint these walls with what is left of you<br />

I blend I shade, but it's all, white on white<br />

Some day you might look back on who you were<br />

But if you can think, I'm pressed to believe<br />

You will find it hard to get up off your knees but... <br />

<br />

It takes manifest in this, <br />

Clarity/rage<br />

That I stacked up, <br />

And now it's all coming down<br />

You social slave, <br />

You better be gone<br />

That you insist to persist<br />

Doesn't make you a man<br />

<br />

Ashamed, when I find that all that you are... <br />

A living confirmation of my thoughts<br />

But when it all goes down you should know this:<br />

That you need a fix need a push over this, <br />

Cause the hour has come<br />

The world has moved on<br />

<br />

Peel a layer of social distortion<br />

Your face is laid bare, and this notion springs... <br />

I fear if I know you, and God do I know you, <br />

It's all for the best<br />

Ignorance is bliss<br />

And now you've come round<br />

You're complete, you're profound<br />

You're perfect<br />

In a certain way<br />

But here you lay, just a frame, just a shame, <br />

Cause time caught up<br />

Caught up with you today<br />

<br />

Hard on the outside<br />

Ripe within<br />

But when I dig I find things<br />

You would not believe
