[Lyric] The Hole (Coffin Varnish)

[Verse 1]
There’s a hole and I fill it with all sorts of things
It likes praise and applause, and the acclaim money brings
I keep it in the backyard, I keep the fence built tall
I try to keep it locked up so nobody can fall in
It’s demanding, and voracious
It’s obnoxious and vexatious
And I never seem to give it enough of what it wants

[Chorus]
Would you tell me I’m good enough?
Maybe that would shut it up
It seems to think I need everything, won’t hear any rebuff
God, it’s so draining to hear it complaining
And nothing I do fills it up
Would you tell me I’m good enough?
Am I good enough? Am I good enough?

[Verse 2]
There’s a hole and I keep trying to fill it with stuff
It likes attention a lot, it just can’t get enough
I tossed a person down one day to keep it company
I thought it would spit them out again, maybe it will eventually
It’s needy and distasteful
It’s petty and ungrateful
And it always complains that I never give it enough of what it wants
[Chorus]
Would you tell me I’m good enough?
Maybe that would shut it up
It seems to think I need everything, won’t hear any rebuff
God, it’s so draining to hear it complaining
And nothing I do fills it up
Would you tell me I’m good enough?
Am I good enough? Am I good enough?

[Interlude]
Am I whole? Am I whole?
I feel like I’m empty, I’m out of control
And that hole, oh that hole
I can’t see the bottom, I can’t see the goal

[Chorus]
Would you tell me I’m good enough?
Maybe that would shut it up
It seems to think I need everything, won’t hear any rebuff
God, it’s so draining to hear it complaining
And nothing I do fills it up
Would you tell me I’m good enough?
Am I good enough? Am I good enough?
