Why don't you

Dig yourself an even deeper hole?

Fill it up with

Something other than a shovel

Bury the trench in borderline

Surrounding your troubles

And when the world falls in

Don't let it be subtle

Why don't you cover up the rose

With more dirt?

Let it rot beneath the sun

It will not see

If your mind is your reality

You've got a twisted fate

If the ground is your insanity

Then it's far too late

Just sink away

Into the mud

That's taking the place

Your clear water reflection

Distort the color with your

Desire for perfection

Why don't you throw another punch

At your mirror?

Find poetry in the blood on your

Broken fist

Stare at the shattered face

As you watch your fall from grace

But still blame yourself

For the uncontrolled space

Just sink away

Into the mud

That's taking the place

Of your clear water reflection

Distort the color with your

Desire for

Perfection's not the finish of

Your lines drawn in the sand

But you let those cords tighten

Over heart and overhead

Watch the world fill up your lungs

All the sediment you dug

Will be nothing but the empty grave

That you've begun

Just sink away

Into the mud

That's taking the place

Of your clear, sweet water reflection

Distort the color with your

Desire for

Why don't you dig yourself an even deeper hole?
