Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't be, I can't be
I can't be, I can't be
Keep digging, keep digging
Can't keep me calm, can't keep me calm
Can't keep me whole, can't keep me whole
[Verse 2]
Like a script for the screen
I would fall for you
Every bit to smithereens
By the fall for you
[Verse 3]
Boundless
I won't be yours (Too close, too close)
In the ripples of the stream
With no mind or core
[Verse 4]
I can't be, I can't be
I can't be, I can't be
Keep digging, keep digging
Can't keep me calm, can't keep me calm
Can't keep me whole, can't reach the sun
[Verse 5]
Don't be, don't be, no ending
Don't be what you were, friend
[Verse 6]
I won't be no effigy
I won't be no effigy
I won't be no effigy
I won't be no effigy
