Name: rife with rot
Duration: P00H04M08S
Description: this song is about that kind of pain that lingers no matter how long time passes. it's rather dull but the way it clings to every second of every day can make it almost unbearable. almost like a permanent rain cloud hanging over your head and no matter what you do it leaves you cold and wet.

lyrics

the hole in my shoe
seems to fester over time
rife with rot
smothered dirt all on the sides
the hole in my shoe
i never have to question why
so worn down
it’s like you were never mine

the hole in my shoe
makes me want to stay inside
i don’t wanna have to face
what i don’t have anymore
the hole in my shoe
makes the ground wash my feet
the dull freezing ache
makes me lose my appetite

every day shave off more of my sole
every day wanna walk a little less
worn myself into this pair of boots
don’t wanna have to break in again
i can’t toss you out
yet, if it’s time for a new pair
i’ll sooner tape it up
for the illusion of repair
you are the hole in my shoe
the hole in my shoe
the dull ache
cold feet
hole in my shoe
