Holes in Our Stories

We all have holes in our stories

What matters is if you fall into them

And if you don’t, then you’ll be alone,

For wherever our lives might head off to next

We all have holes in our stories

And creases across our heads

So it was written

There in the distance

An image of all of the things in our lives we regret

I punched a hole in the wall

The night that she called me and told me she left

Goddamn I hit it, so hard it indented,

And I miss a part of me I knew way way way back then

We dug a hole in the concrete

To lay down a few of our friends

The night they went missing

Nobody would listen

No wonder our bonfires haven’t burned bright ever since

We all have holes in our stories

What matters is if you fall into them

And if you don’t, then you’ll be alone,

For wherever our lives might head off to next

We all have holes in our stories

And creases across our heads

So it was written

There in the distance

An image of all of the things in our lives we regret

We all have holes in our stories

What matters is if you fall into them

We all have holes in our stories

What matters is if you fall into them

We all have holes in our stories

Where do we go from here my friend?

We all have holes in our stories

Where do we go from here my friend?

If they all get wrinkles before me?

Where do we go from here my friend?

We all have holes in our stories

What matters is if you fall into them

We all have holes in our stories

So where do we go from here my friend?

We all have holes in our stories

Promise me you won’t fall into them

Again.
