I know I'm evil

But god's gotta let something go, right?

Cause how would any man enter

Heaven alive when we're left to hold the line as sinners

And the way we keep it cold to hide how it hurts

Oh, we've gotta let something go, right?

Now

Lord, I've gotta hold on, a minute

I've gotta bury my hatchets deeper

Grab a shovel, it's gonna take a little diggin'

I've gotta bury my hatchets deeper

Well you've got your level

And I know that compared to mine, it's as crooked as the Devil

But do

N't for an hour let your preconception think you're better

When your friends and neighbors say I'm all dishevelled

Ah, we've gotta know what all we hide, now

I'm trying

Not to let myself hit my roots, and to get caught lying

Oh, to be a better man, like

The ones I've spent my life

Telling myself they're living blind

Oh, we've gotta know what all we hide, now

Lord, I've gotta hold on, a minute

I've gotta bury my hatchets deeper

So grab a shovel, it's gonna take a little digging

I've gotta bury my

Hatchets deeper
