Deeper Down

You're right! I'm down here in a hole. I dug it myself, With a shovel I stole. Leave me be, I'm trying to salvage my soul. The shelter I need, Lies deeper down. You're so perspicacious, So quickly, you grasp my situation. You perceived (in an instant), My lack of "elevation." But it's so obvious, You missed my motivation: Gettin' far away from you, By headin' deeper down. Bloody fingers, Battered soul, Your love (such as it was), Has taken its toll. Give me darkness, Black as coal. And all I know how to do, Is dig deeper down... I'm tired of feeling, I'm tired of the the fight, I'm done thinking, 'Bout what's wrong or right. I've a coolness, For the lowering of the light. The comfort I crave, Lies deeper down. Bloody fingers, Battered soul, Your love (so to speak), Has taken its toll. I'm craving darkness, Black as coal. And all I know how to do, Is dig deeper down... Won't somebody, Cover me in? Throw some dirt over, Where I've been? Bury me, And all of my sin. Salvation must be, Deeper down. Bloody fingers, Battered soul, Your love (such as it was), Has taken its toll. Desperate for darkness, Black as coal. And all I know how to do, All I know how to do, Is dig deeper down!
