lyrics

“..wanna know why… why you chose this lifestyle… let’s start with you, why?”
“Why not?”

They
Put you in a hole
With your own shovel
Tell you figure it out yourself
Dig until you find
Any peace of mind
Just like everybody else

Don’t
Get too close
To your big ego
Don’t you know that it isn’t you?
You are not the shovel
You are not the hole
You are not the things you do

So we keep digging

“Dig”
“It’s all you’ll ever be good for.”

Try to climb out of the hole
They push you back in
They tell you stick to your role
With a twisted grin
You’re not like anybody else
Not a tchotchke on a shelf
So tell me
“Who are you?”

“Well I mean everybody… everybody’s into their own thing… you know… we don’t want to be labeled you know… we don’t want to be… you know we all ended up getting labeled because people have… in society… have to classify you they have to put you in a category because they have to explain you! If they can’t explain you then people start getting nervous ‘what are these kids up to? What’s going on with them?’”

“D-I-G… What’s that spell?”
Dig!
