HOLE

Hey, wait Hey, wait And it doesn't know and noone knows It mightn't show you why it chose To be a hole that fills itself with fear And I stare a while in the night And I see it smile but it might Just be a trick of dimming light or smoke Or smoke Shatter once, I'll collect you again now Say a word that isn't pretend I'd like to think your insides can bend But they don't And it doesn't know and noone knows It mightn't show you why it chose To be a hole that fills itself with fear And I stare a while in the night And I see it smile but it might Just be a trick of dimming light or smoke Or smoke Shatter once, I'll collect you again now Say a word that isn't pretend I'd like to think your insides can bend But they don't Mama goes where mama chooses Nothing fills her giant shoeses Nothing ever happens the way that she'd hope Mama comes and mama goes Where she goes to noone knows Nothing ever happens the way that she'd hope Mama comes and mama goes Mama sleeps when noone knows Mama knows what mama chooses Mama hates the best blues now Mama knows what mama chooses Mama hates the best of blues yeah Nothing ever happens the way that she'd hope Nothing ever happens the way that she'd hope Nothing ever happens the way that she'd hope Nothing ever I shoot up in bed Rub the moonlit crust from my eyes And I put my feet down to the floor and I put on my slippers I pull my head up from my thighs Stand right up and walk outside the room At the bottom of the stairs I can't recall arriving there Or getting up As I shuffle quite unconsciously into the kitchen The fridge it hums it's making fun of me Inside a sun and liquid thumbs to suck on In it's glow I reach but then a whisper Far too maternal, down my neck across my adolescent blisters And I turn around And it is my mama And she looks and she says You are too young to be drinking beer And I say that's strange Seems only yesterday that I was 24 And I try to turn to spite her but she's gone again And so bursting out the front door, I flee nothing As the wooden steps creek in farewell And I cross the road and I scale a fence Kinda stumble through a forest dense with dawn And I crawl deep, deep, deep into the forest And after a while I'm surrounded By my friends My friends that only I can see And they gave me beer Lots and lots and lots of beer You're high Above Ascend Beyond Amazed Stargaze Sunrise Skyfall Outside The world You're high On time Come calm Your mind Awake To find You've made a hole Hey Wait It doesn't matter There's nothing for you no more Hey Wait It doesn't matter There's nothing real in this hole
