In the shadow of what's real<br />
You dig a hole down in the sand.<br />
Where you know you left it all,<br />
The things that make you understand.<br />
And guide your hand.<br />
Then you turn with wattering eye,<br />
To the sky in your surprise.<br />
And the sand is your blood and the hole is so big<br />
And you shake and you pray and you beg.<br />
You know why.<br />
With your watering eye,<br />
You've got a hole inside,<br />
Such a wretched life,<br />
Don't look so surprised.<br />
You know why.<br />
You did this to yourself again.<br />
Gunning for a bluer sky.<br />
Swallowed the dose,<br />
Cut your own rope,<br />
Just to know it all.<br />
Do you know it all?<br />
Took down the dose,<br />
Cut your rope,<br />
Wanted to show yourself everything.<br />
You ran through the wires,<br />
Tasted the fires.<br />
You can't feel anything at all.<br />
Shocked by the voice again.
