i have this deep hole of hurt inside my soul
and the dirt that you've thrown won't make anything grow
so i fill it with water as quick as i can
but the land erodes further
so i learn how to swim
and i swim in circles in the river of pain
i practice backstroke and sidestroke over and over again
til im just treading water to keep my head afloat
and my muscles get tired of trying to cope
so i sink to the bottom of my deep hole of hurt
and i find myself lonely and starving and broke
i blow a yellow balloon with my last breaths of air
and i float to the top of my empty wide tear
