I'm climbing out of the hole that I've been digging

Throwing out all the blue prints I have drawn up for the safe house

I stashed away enough food for forty days, gallons of water, first aid, and propane, 

And some wine to entertain



I'm always planning for the worst

I signed my will right after birth

I've got my eulogy rehearsed 



I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees

When I think about eternity

Have I been led astray?

Feeling like they forgot me

He had the right name but the wrong street 



I'm pulling nails out from the coffin

I'm gasping for air

My eyes are full just like the moon

I've got a silver bullet stare



The holy grail that I once thought

Was fiction but the fact is that it's not 

In communion with my thoughts



The vultures circle overhead

Hanging like halos for the dead

But I'm not suited for one yet



I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees

When I think about eternity

Have I been led astray

Feeling like they forgot me

He had the right name but the wrong street



I'm a number in a lottery

Life's a boardwalk game god rigged to cheat



As the snow falls all along the peaks

My minds an avalanche I'm digging through to reach

All the things I've tried to shove down deep

My minds an avalanche I'm digging through to reach



If I could run, but with its speed 

I'm bound to be buried here underneath

A tidal wave triggered to teach 

That life on an island isn't what it seems

I'm cutting off my toes just so that I can spite my feet



I fall to pieces and I get weak in the knees

When I think about eternity

Have I been led astray

Feeling like they forgot me

He had the right name but the wrong street
