Gabe Ma**ey - Hole lyrics

[Verse 1] I trusted songs sung by liars lungs in an attempt to wrap me in love Maybe the problem was never the crowd, but instead was divine intervention from above I thought that waking up would bring a brand new day, but it seems I fell asleep a year too late As you take my hand and leave me at the gate, a kiss from a familiar face The grapevines on my fence outside are brown with faded twigs Blocking off the backyard from the street, making distant connections with the alley Where we ran as kids above cracking leaves, before the dream was dead in its frozen sleep [Chorus] I didn't wanna be that hole in your head, when you dream about what used to be, asleep in your bed Now the smoke is all around you, and in the orange glow lays the fires of the friendships I thought would shift and mold In the house of the free, in the palm of your hand lays the only common concept you'll never understand In the dead of the night, in the heat from the war of drained captains running home in defeat [Verse 2] A cold night in a dim-lit room helps to curb your interest in the things that you do Under stars of the ignored and ceilings of sweat sits the ghost of the moment that you'll always forget As you take a pull and you swim in the brine of every empty decision and every faked line But off to the side on the wall, there's a sign A warning of our lost time [Chorus] I didn't wanna be that hole in your head, when you dream about what used to be, asleep in your bed Now the smoke is all around you, and in the orange glow lays the fires of the friendships I thought would shift and mold In the house of the free, in the palm of your hand lays the only common concept you'll never understand In the dead of the night, in the heat from the war of drained captains running home in defeat [Bridge] Do you wonder how it felt to be the deer in the headlights along the frozen highway past Mile 99? Family forgotten in the flash of the instant where metal hit skin and went skidding on the floor Go to sleep with your loved ones, your dead-end prayers, your incoherent words left blissfully unaware Sleep in the flames of your burning regret and stab me in the heart with your sharpened bayonet [Chorus] I didn't wanna be that hole in your head, when you dream about what used to be, asleep in your bed Now the smoke is all around you, and in the orange glow lays the fires of the friendships I thought would shift and mold In the house of the free, in the palm of your hand lays the only common concept you'll never understand In the dead of the night, in the heat from the war of drained captains running home in defeat [End] When they laid your body down to rest, all I felt was bitter disappointment that I never said anything, what everything meant The deepest regret, that you could've helped me fix this problem, but instead: On the tombstone marked the anniversary where everything fell apart And moving into this hole I should've known from the start
