'Dig' was the first song I recorded after 'Smile Slightly' was finished. Then my recorder broke. I felt that 'Dig' was too violent to fit into an album.

Dig

She promised to fuck and not to feel
She promised to touch me and make me reel
Danger always has it’s appeal
I’m proof of that.
Now I’m lying wasted, alone
I’ve got no courage, I’ve got no home
I’m kneeling in front of Jesus’ throne
“Forgive Me.”
Take me down when tide comes in
Take me down to absolve my sins
Make me tell you again and again
“I’m Sorry.”

Dig, dig, dig me a hole in the ground below.
Please, please, help me dig. God rest her soul.

Shake me, shake me till I wake up
My sweat is cold, I feel white hot
My throat is dry, my eyes are bloodshot
I’m thirsty.
Wash me down, water is life
Light a match, I will ignite
When she whispered “tonight’s the night”
She didn’t know it.

Dig, dig, dig me a hole in the ground below.
Please, please, help me dig. God rest her soul.
Dig, dig, dig me a hole in the ground below.
Please, please help me bury the past - regain control.

Bury our trash. Bury our guilt.
Bury the pain and the blood we spilt.
Bury our past. Bury our lies.
Bury our dead and pray they will rise.

Dig...
