Diggin' Deep (Rock)

(Instrumental intro) (Instrumental solo) (Verse 1) In this gravel of desperation... I am diggin' through the pain... Scratchin' for a reason... But all I find is constant rain... Cravin' a real quick answer... Like a shot of somethin' strong... But every time... I find myself reachin' for it... Everything just ends up feelin' wrong... (Chorus) Each handful brings a heartache... A new itch beneath my skin... Chasin' after somethin' deep... Hopin' somehow to win... Ohhhhhhhhh... The promise of a quick fix... A damned ole gentle lie... Like a glass of bourbon whiskey... Leavin' me cold and empty inside... (Instrumental solo) (Verse 2) I am lost in stubborn thinkin'... With wisdom thick as smoke... Wonderin' if I am too far gone... Or just stuck in a deep southern joke... The whisper calls me softly... To pause and take a break... But I am racin'... Racin' through my worries... For my own foolish sake... (Pre-Chorus) My restless night keep hauntin'... And I keep lookin' for a sign... To pause and find the answers... Locked deep within my mind... (Chorus) Each handful brings a heartache... A new itch beneath my skin... Chasin' after somethin' deep... Hopin' somehow to win... Ohhhhhhhhh... The promise of a quick fix... A damned ole gentle lie... Like a glass of Jack Daniel's whiskey... Leavin' me cold and empty inside... (Instrumental solo) (Bridge) Maybe the answer is in the silence... In the moments we overlook... In the depth of all this sendin'... Where we find the hidden hooks... So here I am... Diggin' deeper... With a shovel and so little hope... Searchin' for a quiet moment... Where I no longer have to just cope... (Pre-Chorus) I sip from empty bottles... Feel the burn down deep inside... But come tomorrow mornin'... I will just go run and hide... (Chorus) Each handful brings a heartache... A new itch beneath my skin... Chasin' after somethin' deep... Hopin' somehow to win... Ohhhhhhhhh... The promise of a quick fix... A damned ole gentle lie... Like a glass of Tennessee whiskey... Leavin' me cold and empty inside... (Instrumental solo) (Outro) So I will dig through this darkness... To get past all the pain... Hopin' to find the strength and wisdom... To make me whole again... No more chasin' fleetin' moments... Just a steady, grounded beat... In the silence of my searchin'... I will discover... What it finally means... To feel complete... (Instrumental solo) Ohhhhhhhhhh... (Ohhhhhhhhhhh...) If only I could remember... To let it all be... So perhaps one day... I will find a way... To find out... What it feels like to be freeeeeeeeeeeee... (Ohhhhhhhhhh...) (Instrumental solo) (End)
