Do I blend into this background?
Match these beige coloured walls?
when a song goes on for too long,
you're stuck between the strings and chords,
just hanging there, swinging around, whilst the words nip at your feet
too private to be singing out loud, but the feeling starts to eat away
at you (dig in!)
Is this all I have to offer? A life on rinse repeat
still a slave to these habits that I can't quite defeat
just sitting here, waiting around for the courage to lay claim
to scared of what might come about, to snap the rope and see where I would land
or break (dig in!)
I can tell that I'm avoiding looking in
thoughts flow out and around, strewn without a meaning
I'll unpack it all, when I get more time
right now it seems I'm digging in, digging in (dig in!)
So I'll send another email, committed to the last
fasten straps and pack my bags, another month goes past
does anyone really know when my life will really start?
when I'm comfortable, coupled and fat, or strung out thin and worn from the road
alone (dig in!)
I can tell that I'm, avoiding looking in
thoughts flow out and around, strewn without a meaning
I'll unpack it all, when I get more time
right it seems I'm, digging in,
surviving, this current will carry me,
wherever I will go, on and forwards not,
questioning, but digging in (dig in!)
digging in, (dig in!, dig in!)
I'm on the edge of something new
I can feel it when I write
I'm on the verge of breaking through so
Dig in! Dig in!
I can tell that I'm, avoiding looking in
thoughts flow out and around, strewn without a meaning
I'll unpack it all, when I get more time
right it seems I'm, digging in,
surviving, this current will carry me,
wherever I will go, on and forwards not,
questioning, but digging in (dig in!)
