A History Of Holes Lyrics - Singles - Nine Horses

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 

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 

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 won't fit 

With the story you told yourself 

And your place in it 

So put on a brave face 

Straighten that tie 

And speak like you mean it 

Give truth to the lie 

And I fear 

That it isn't enough 

And I fear 

That it isn't enough
