The black and white is clear to see
Its shades of gray are puzzling me
Shades of feeling like my body's buried deep
Half asleep, half asleep

It's a very deep hole with very steep sides
And I can't climb out, I'm trapped inside
It's a very deep hole with very steep sides
And I can't climb out, he'd know I've tried

Trapped inside
Oh, yes, I am trapped
Trapped inside

What is it with me? I make no sense
And why is it I talk in future tense?
When I go to sing, my voice, it goes to shout
I can't break out, I can't break out

'Cause it's a very deep hole with very steep sides
And I can't climb out, I'm trapped inside
It's a very deep hole with very steep sides
And I can't climb out, look how I've tried

Trapped inside
Lord knows I'm trapped
Trapped inside

All my climbing up has me nowhere
And all of this can get too much to bear
Now, all I'm trying to do is mend this beat-up heart
That's a start, that's a start

'Cause it's a very deep hole with very steep sides
And I can't climb out, I'm trapped inside
It's a very deep hole with very steep sides
And I can't climb out, I'm trapped inside

It's a very deep hole with very steep sides
And I can't climb out, I'm trapped inside
It's a very deep hole with very steep sides
And I can't climb out, Lord knows I've tried

Trapped inside...
