I made the mistake of listening to music I was part of creating. It's a recipe for an earworm to listen back to something you tracked who knows how many takes of vocals for. https://youtu.be/kOetVuO_P1Y

Lyrics:

Can someone save me from the pit

This grave I dug myself is filling in

I built up my walls, created the divide

But now they're caving in I'm trapped inside

Now I see the lies that I have believed

Promises of life and fame and fulfillment and self

A sweet sweet pill with a bitter end

Lay me down inside my grave

I know I'm broken can I be remade

Lay me down underneath the ground

I know I'm lost can I ever be found

I'm screaming for help can no one hear the sound

I've spent so long chasing empty dreams, but still you stood there calling me

I pursued the shining gold, the wine so red, the bandit, the harlots, the faithless friend

Beaten and abused and left for dead

I had no hope until you took me in

My self-inflicted wounds you began to heal

You filled the emptiness and took away the pain I used to feel

Why did I take so long

What was I hiding from

I will never go back

Never go back, not going back

Lay me down inside my grave

I know I'm broken can I be remade

Lay me down underneath the ground

I know I'm lost can I ever be found

I've been like a withered tree growing in the dry bed of a desert stream

I sunk my roots into an anchor of sand, but the rain stopped coming to this barren land

I wandered from the path, was lost in the weeds - but you never abandoned me

Dig, dig, dig til I'm 6 feet down in the deep - still you never abandoned me

I will never go back

Never go back, not going back

You saved me from the pit

This grave I dug myself, you filled it in

The life I lived is buried there

I'll never go back, not going back

I'll never go back, not going back
