lyrics

I'm alone stuck with myself.
Unless I feel that someone is around.
But they're all gone – far away
So I dig a hole into the ground
Here I'm sane all by myself
unless I feel that they are back around
that is when my worries come back.

I'll be alone when they're all gone.
Unless I feel my drive is back around.
But it's gone – far away
That's why I dug a hole into the ground.
Yet I'm not sane all by myself.
I lack something that I have had for years.
That is why my worries came back.

Guess I have to fight this on my own
With no-one but myself to defeat.
Guess I'll have to pass this test alone
to see if I can hold to my belief.
Won't take this further because I don't want to admit
Where things go and I'll go if I don't live this.
What have I done and what must I do
To save this part of me that copes with the blue?

Guess I have to fight this on my own
With no-one but myself to defeat.
Guess I'll have to pass this test alone
to see if I can hold to my belief.

What have I done? What must I do? What have I done? What must I do? What have I done? What must I do? What have I done? What must I do?

I'm not alone stuck with myself
No need to dig a hole into the ground
'cause I'll be gone and won't return
unless I find my passion on the road.
Here I'm sane all by myself
A stranger gives me shelter in my fear
That is where no worries come back
That is when I'll come back.
