[Verse 1]
We've got a way, we got away and survived
Stunned by the shock and fearing what's behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything you thought you'd live and die for
Every reason leading you to hear all of the sounds
That trickle past your introspective ear
An attempt to discover what's behind
[Chorus]
Branches twisting, reaching for the sky
Hands extending, reaching for the
Fell in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Loss of control
(For the night, for the knife)
I'm in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Bleed myself dry
(Save my life, save my life)
[Post-Chorus]
The river
The lake
Fell in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Loss of control
(For the night, for the knife)
[Verse 2]
Hands conflicting clearly point their way
Stunned by the sign and fearing what it says
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything you thought you'd live and die for
Every reason leading you to hear all of the sounds
That trickle past your introspective ear
An attempt to discover what's...
[Chorus]
Fell in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Loss of control
(For the night, for the knife)
I'm in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Bleed myself dry
(Save my life, save my life)
[Post-Chorus]
The river
The lake...
Fell in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Loss of control
(For the night, for the knife)
I'm in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Bleed myself dry
(Save my life, save my life)
[Chorus]
Fell in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Loss of control
(For the night, for the knife)
I'm in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Bleed myself dry
(Save my life, save my life)
[Outro]
The river
The lake
Fell in another hole
(For the night, for the knife)
Loss of control
(For the night, for the knife)
