Hole in the Earth

Deftones · Saturday Night Wrist [2006]

Can you explain to me how

You're stable, how

It's too late for me now

There's a hole in the earth, I'm out

There's a hole in the earth, I'm out

Can you explain to me now

iIf you're stable, whilst

I think you know the truth

There's a hole in the earth, I'm out

I hate all of my friends

They all attack sometimes

There's a hole in the earth, I'm out

There's a hole in the earth, lets take a bow

This is the end

Somewhere

This is the end

Somewhere

There's a hole in the earth

There's a hole in the earth

I hate all of my friends (I'm out)

There's a hole in the earth

I'm away somewhere

Hole in the Earth
