lyrics

You will never know just how deep
I've dug to find this forgiveness for you
Twenty-three handfuls of resentment
Are thrown over the shoulders of my youth

And I had to break straight through concrete
To uncover the compassion that I have
Empathy and broken fingertips
Are the patient spades of my conscience

I'll keep digging because...

I don't want to be void anymore

I held you in contempt
And where the fuck did that get me?
Seventeen and angry with
Copper in my veins
I watched a piece of you die
On the long drives past the coalmines
Pretend everything's alright
But the weight still hangs in your eyes

The weight still hangs in your eyes

I press my hands through the soil
And into the memories that we made
Three hundred miles of red eyes
Are buried on the side of the highway
Back to Salt Lake

I don't want to be void anymore

I held you in contempt
And where the fuck did that get me?
Seventeen and angry with
Copper in my veins
I watched a piece of you die
On the long drives past the coalmines
Pretend everything's alright
But the weight still hangs in your eyes

Another weekend spent in contrite

I don't want to be void anymore

I held you in contempt
And where the fuck did that get me?
Seventeen and angry with
Copper in my veins
I watched a piece of you die
On the long drives past the coalmines
Pretend everything's alright
I watched a piece of you die
And collapse in real-time
I think I'll just close my eyes
In the backseat while you drive

I've dug this hole so far down
I came across the bones that you loved
And realized that I witnessed
The agony of watching you give up
