Fillin Up a Hole

Fillin' up a Hole

Everybody’s telling me that they know how to plant these flowers
No one really understands the reasons that they die
If carefully you fertilize, they’ll hopefully materialize in hours
But when I see those roots just wash away
To me it’s no surprise

I’ve been fillin
I been fillin up a hole
Where there used to be a heart
Before you ripped it apart

I’ve been workin
Workin night and day
Til they put me away
I’ll be fillin up a hole

I fill it up, I top it off, I tamp it down, I pray for a shower
The kind that comes down soft and warm with a rainbow on the side
But every time I think of you my point view it turns a little sour
And my little prayer for soft and warm brings a torrent from the sky

If I were a miner and you asked if I could take you to the bottom
You’d find a chasm there that’s ten miles deep and forty million wide
If the digging that you did to me it led to this insanity I’m sorry
If I fill this hole for the rest of my life, I won’t get you off of my mind
