Hole in the Ground
Walking home through the street,
We met this hole in the ground.
It was deep, and jagged,
so black, and ragged,
Swallowing all our sound.
It looked so out of place,
too deep to even be true.
It was there, the glare
The empty stare,
Stayed as we withdrew.
Three boys afoot, in this shadowy town,
Craved comfort of the home.
Without knowing or scheming,
That we were just leaving,
The black hole all alone.
Strange feature deep,
Darkling, black
You gave us three
Mild heart attacks
Till you are filled,
With Medway's spill,
Through solemn tears,
We'll look back.
Hellish calls, graffiti’d walls
And our heartstrings tensile.
The Summer’s gone, the journey’s long
Light beckons with a smile.
The sky alive as a great coal fire
Overcast slate and flame,
Is Love in vain all that's ordained?
High embers lit our way.
Strange feature deep,
Darkling, black
You gave us three
Mild heart attacks
Till you are filled,
With Medway's spill,
Through solemn tears,
We'll look back.
Strange feature deep,
Darkling, black
You gave us three
Mild heart attacks
Till you are filled,
With Medway's spill,
Through solemn tears,
We'll look back.
