lyrics

I've been digging for a long long time
And I'll keep going deep until I find what I find
My friends are my spade and the fossils I've saved
And I sell them for tuppence on grey rainy days
When colours of stories bleed out down the drain
Out gutters past doorways with crusted off paint
Down sewers and waterways into the sea
I wear them all on my face with my heart on my sleeve

I want to play it cool like I've something to hide
I want a duck feather fortress to shelter inside
I'm cis and I'm straight and I'm male and I'm white
And I don't really know why I'm terrified
I don't really know why I'm terrified

I used to be able to roll a good cigarette
Back when I danced naked to pay off my debt
And self flagellated to dampen my dreams
They're still saturated and torn at the seams
So I pick them up careful and I place them aside
I've got to keep digging until I find what I find

And I find that just knowing does not make me wise
Got dirt on my hands and old pain in my eyes
From telephones and mirrors and distant headlights
And I don't really know why I'm terrified
I don't really know why I'm terrified
But I think it was something about you
Yeah I think it was something about you

Each shovel load turned ends up burned in my mind
I can still see the urn from the day that I died
We're slaves to the graves that we scrape all our lives
And I don't really know why I'm terrified
I don't really know why I'm terrified
But I think it was something about you
Yeah I think it was something about you
