I've been shoveling dirt at the bottom of this ditch
I've been shoveling dirt at the bottom of this ditch
I've left the upstairs world behind
and joined the kingdom of the blind
and now I'm down here shoveling dirt
just shoveling dirt
this stubborn pride has been my ball and chain
this stubborn pride has been my ball and chain
'cause every time I think I've broken free
it drags me back and buries me
this stubborn pride it's my ball and chain
my ball and chain, my ball and chain
once I believed I could follow the horizon
and just blow like a leaf on the wind
but now here I am in this hole in the ground
and I'm wondering, I'm wondering where
where the horizon is, where the horizon is
I've been shoveling dirt, I've been filling in the cracks
I've been shoveling dirt, I've been filling in the cracks
the more I look, the more I see
it's the little things that have broken me
that's why I'm down here filling in the cracks
filling in the cracks, filling in the cracks
yes I'm filling, I'm filling, I'm filling
filling in the cracks
I've been shoveling dirt at the bottom of this ditch
I've been shoveling dirt at the bottom of this ditch
I've left the upstairs world behind
and joined the kingdom of the blind
and now I'm down here, and now I'm down here
