"Deadwood" lyrics

Every time I beat my demons
Another one's waiting
Every time I get done healing
Another bone starts breaking

Every time I cut out the cancer
Another one grows
Been begging this world for an answer
But no one knows

How deep does the dead wood go
Straight down to the bone marrow
I cut deep til the blood runs cold
How deep does the dead wood go

Dad told me the secret to the good life
All the evil inside of you has to die
Guess I took it too far I'm on the borderline
Half-saved at the same time half-alive

How many scars 'til the pain ends
How many hard learned truths 'til the lies make sense
"You're almost good enough" says my father
It's always just a little bit farther

How deep does the dead wood go
Straight down to the bone marrow
I cut deep 'til the blood runs cold
How deep does the dead wood go

How dark is this black hole
How long is the narrow road
How far on the burning coals
How deep does the deadwood go

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
How deep does the dead wood go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

How deep does the dead wood go
Straight down to the bone marrow
I cut deep 'til the blood runs cold
How deep does the dead wood go
