Brother Kent

Lyrics

I had luck, it went missing. I counted on it, it didn’t show.
I had love, or so I thought. It disappeared now I’m alone.

A lost life, a learned lesson, something I should’ve already known.
I made a wish and crossed my fingers. I never get anything I want.

Down in the hole. Nothing good to find
Down in the hole. Send you right back to the end of the line

I built a wall. I built another. I dug a ditch. I tried to hide.
I buried it, but it keeps coming. I lie awake in the middle of the night.
No lie, I’m lonely, I’m mad and I’m broke
So full of regret I ain’t got no room for hope

Down in the hole. Nothing here but time
Down in the hole. Gotta get out of here before I die

They brought me. They wore me out. They broke me down with no mercy
Made threats and tripped me up, anything to coerce me
No lie, I didn’t do it. I wanted to, but I ain’t that dumb
Now I sit and I wonder if I’ll ever feel the sun

Down in the hole, they got me to confess
Down in the hole, never should’ve let it come to this
Down in the hole, it eats me up inside
Down in the hole. Gotta get out of here before I die
