Panopticon - The Pit Lyrics


The earth is soaked

Low hanging mist

Ghost of last nights storm

And I went to my tools

And I did choose

A shovel along the wall

It was packed with rust

With a splintered handle

It suited me just fine

In this stage

In my decay and uselessness

It seemed a friend of mine

I set off to the woods

For a hill to die upon

For worth in a worthless world

Only to discover loss

On first strike

My shovels blade

Is blunted on stouted slate

I can't even seem

To bury myself

Another damn mistake

With every shovel-full

Another memory

Floated through my mind

And I would fill this pit

Back up with my tears

Had I nothing left to cry

Deeper I dig

More that I regret

Ever starting to dig at all

I was so alone

I did dig a hole

Just to have a place to fall

Just to have a place to fall

As the rain fell down

I hoped I drown

Rid this world of my misery

I would be better off

Floated face down

People having to deal with me

For a moment I climbed

All the roots and rocks

And all the walls came loose

Sent me crashing down

Back to the bottom

This watery grave that I did choose

With every shovel-full

Another memory

Floated through my mind

And I would fill this pit

Back up with my tears

Had I nothing left to cry

Deeper I dig

More that I regret

Ever starting to dig at all

I was so alone

I did dig a hole

Just to have some place to fall

Just to have a place to fall
