Royal Psalms - Dig

I was a ghost town
I was a gold seeker
Looking for the mother-load
In a crowd of poisonous people
Looking for something
While I was trying to get found
Like there was a whole life waiting
That was never mine for the taking

I should have put that shovel down
I should have put that shovel down
Because pretending to be deep never got me anywhere

I've been digging digging digging
Digging for years
I've been digging digging digging
Digging for years
And I'm pretty sure there's nothing buried here
I've been digging digging digging
Digging for years

Same story again
It was a shot in the arm
Sometimes I wish it was a shot in the head
I'd stake my claim then excavate that gravel bed
But all hope was dead
All of those things I knew were right
All of the things I did instead

I should have put that shovel down
I should've put that shovel down
Because pretending that I cared never got me anywhere

I've been digging digging digging
Digging for years
I've been digging digging digging
Digging for years
And I'm pretty sure there's nothing buried here
I've been digging digging digging
Digging for years
And I'm still digging

Finally my blurry eyes come clear
The day I gave up hope I gave up fear

I've been digging digging digging
Digging for years
I've been digging digging digging
Digging for years
And I'm pretty sure there's nothing buried here
I've been digging digging digging
Digging for years
And I'm still digging
