[Verse 1]
The only hole a man enters alone
is his grave
Cold dirt keeps score
no one gets saved
But every other one
has a witness in the room
Some come with a ring
some come with a tune
[Pre-Chorus]
We borrow what we need
then pass it on
From hand to hand
it’s never gone
[Chorus]
Shared equally
shared equally
All the other holes
shared equally
Shared equally
shared equally
The living learn
shared equally
[Verse 2]
There’s a gate in the yard
there’s a key in the bowl
There’s a bed with a crease
where two bodies fold
There’s a laugh in the hall
there’s a name on the lip
There’s a mouth full of rain
and a thumb on the wrist
[Pre-Chorus]
We come in pairs
or we come in crowds
Even our silence
gets handed out
[Chorus]
Shared equally
shared equally
All the other holes
shared equally
Shared equally
shared equally
The living learn
shared equally
[Bridge]
Don’t call it fate
don’t call it sin
Most of the world
is built on in
Built on out
built on stay
Built on the ones
who make room anyway
[Final Chorus]
Shared equally
shared equally
All the other holes
shared equally
Shared equally
shared equally
The living learn
shared equally
