Nine Horses – A History Of Holes lyrics
I'm having my day
My place in the sun
I'll grow to resemble
The man I've become
There'll be time for reflection
When I reach that plateau
When the war has been won
No farther to go
And I fear that it isn't enough
I'm making a fortune
I swore to enjoy
These things I promised myself
When I was a boy
When I was a boy
And things moved too slow
And universes revolved around
Things I didn't know
When I was a boy
And I made mistakes
I was humiliated
Til I knew my place
And I fear that it isn't enough
Ignorance hurts
Injustice inflames
I remember the feelings
But forgotten their names
When I was a boy
I saw through their lies
I swore I wouldn't become
The thing I despised
But events over take you
While you set your sights
On bigger game
On greater heights
God bless amnesia
And the things I've suppressed
I can reframe the image
I can discard the rest
A history of holes
Where the pieces that won't fit
With the story you told yourself
And your place in it
And I fear that it isn't enough
So put on a brave face
Straighten that tie
And speak like you mean it
Give truth to the lie
My place in the sun
I'll grow to resemble
The man I've become
There'll be time for reflection
When I reach that plateau
When the war has been won
No farther to go
And I fear that it isn't enough
I'm making a fortune
I swore to enjoy
These things I promised myself
When I was a boy
When I was a boy
And things moved too slow
And universes revolved around
Things I didn't know
When I was a boy
And I made mistakes
I was humiliated
Til I knew my place
And I fear that it isn't enough
Ignorance hurts
Injustice inflames
I remember the feelings
But forgotten their names
When I was a boy
I saw through their lies
I swore I wouldn't become
The thing I despised
But events over take you
While you set your sights
On bigger game
On greater heights
God bless amnesia
And the things I've suppressed
I can reframe the image
I can discard the rest
A history of holes
Where the pieces that won't fit
With the story you told yourself
And your place in it
And I fear that it isn't enough
So put on a brave face
Straighten that tie
And speak like you mean it
Give truth to the lie
