lyrics

Holes

I only feel, where it hurts
I only know the fear
I've never fully understood
What's missing here

There are holes in my story
That someone says they'd fill
I've nothing left but time
To kill

Hi, ho! It's off to work I go
It's the same thing every day
Essentially, it's up to me
So they say

There's no thanks and there's no glory
No house upon the hill
There's just another empty shelf
Like the empty space inside myself

To fill
