  • In this hole that is me
    The dead are rolling over
    In this hole, thickening
    Dirt shoveled over shoulders

    I feel it in me, so overwhelmed
    Oh, this pressured center rising
    My life overturned, unfair the despair
    All these scars keep ripping open

    Peel me from the skin
    Tear me from the rind
    Does it make you happy now?
    Tear me from the bone
    Tear me from myself
    Are you feeling happy now?

    In this hole that is me
    A life that's growing feeble
    In this hole, so limiting
    The sun has set, all darkens

    Buried underneath, hands slip off the wheel
    Internal pathways to contention

    Peel me from the skin
    Tear me from the rind
    Does it make you happy now?
    Tear me from the bone
    Tear me from myself
    Are you feeling happy now?

    (Are you) happy? (Are you) happy?
    Are you feeling happy?

    In this hole that is me
    Left with a heart exhausted
    What's my release, what sets me free?
    Do you pull me up just to push me down again?

    Peel me from the skin
    Tear me from the rind
    Does it make you happy now?
    Tear me from the bone
    Tear me from myself
    Are you feeling happy now?

    Peel me from the skin (peel me from the skin)
    Tear me from the rind
    Does it make you happy now?
    Tear me from the bone (tear me from the bone)
    Tear me from myself
    Are you feeling happy now?

    Does it make you happy? Are you feeling happy?
    Are you fucking happy
    Now that I'm lost, left with nothing?

    Does it make you happy?
    Are you feeling happy?
    Are you fucking happy
    Now that I'm lost, left with nothing? Writer/s: Chad L. Gray, Greg Tribbett, Matthew Mcdonough, Ryan Martinie
