Hole - Selfish Things

A king without a crown

A castle on a mound

Yeah send me down the river to your truth

I’ll beg until I bleed

To wash my sins and free

Myself from all the things I did to you

I know that all of you are burning

Along with all the trees

I know that all of you can hear me

I never say what I don’t mean

Barely conscious

Barely breathing

Maybe I’m the one who’s sinking?

Barely conscious

Barely breathing

Maybe I’m the one who’s sinking?

Into my hole

We live inside our brains

A dangerous game to play

Counting all the hearts we knew we’d lose

I’ll cover up the sky

To watch the birds all die

Make sure to eat the Earth’s now rotting fruit

I know that all of you are burning

Along with all the trees

I know that all of you are burning

Barely conscious

Barely breathing

Maybe I’m the one who’s sinking?(x2)

When I’m broken

I deserve it

I’m a wreck inside the moment

Barely conscious

Barely breathing

Maybe I’m the one who’s sinking?

Into my hole

I’ve died a thousand times, my shadow stays in sight

He took my sisters heart, and cut the cords of life

Now my mother cries and she blames herself

Wondering what she did to create this hell.

(x2)

She did?

She didn’t make this hell

When I’m broken

I deserve it

I’m a wreck inside the moment

Barely conscious

Barely breathing

Maybe I’m the one who’s sinking?

(x2)

Into my hole.
