Digging For Gold

Extra extra heard the news
Jump on the latest fad
Show your vulnerability
There’s riches to be had
Sell your house and pack your bags
Bring your dads and moms
Just below the surface
Brighter shine than polished bronze
{chorus}
Digging digging digging
I’ve gone out digging dirt for gold
I’ll pan this stretch of river
til my grandchildren get old
Every time I find another boulder in my head
I dig myself a deeper hole
Turn gold back into lead
Try try try again
And I’ll breath count 1 through 10
Underneath this soiled ground
This bitter trick of alchemy
Has got me so upset
I think tonight I might do things
Tomorrow I’ll regret
Don’t ask me to be mindful
Or to pray to any church
Just give me something strong
To keep me going while I search
{chorus}
Try try try again
And I’ll breath count 1 through 10
Underneath this soiled ground
Every time I fuck it up
Forgetting to behave
I wonder if there’s treasure
Buried just below the grave
I keep an extra shovel
Here if you want to assist
Though I’ve turned each rock
So many time I’m not sure gold exists
{chorus}

The Answer

Been alone now for a while
Thinking about this life we built
Find it hard to crack a smile
Focusing on my shame and guilt
I turned our castle into a cheap motel
Filled with rats and roaches and razor blades and ne’er-do-wells
Raise a glass and drink to life and your good health
Every time repeat the line that I tell myself
{chorus}
Hold your head up high
If the answer’s nay or aye
Situation’s not so dire
If you keep your hands out of the fire
I’ve been running for far too long
Hiding from what we both know is the truth
Doesn’t matter who’s right and who’s wrong
Discard that illusion along with our youth
I turned our bridges into concrete walls
Tapped with guards and spires and razor wire
You’re sure to fall
Raise a glass and drink to death and to those we’ve lost
Every time repeat the line no matter what the cost
Hold your head up high
Knowing everything that lives is sure to die
But destruction breeds creation and we’re the same star stuff
If that is all there is then let it be enough
{chorus}
