Leave it on the hottest day
To sink this quarry under
What the murder on the pride would bring
Lion, crow, your kingdom
Loaded in the stoned heart
I couldn't keep the woods in you
You had to learn about the hardest things
The softest side would leave you
And on days like this
I could take apart my window
So let down, I been so let down
How deep is the hole I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot with it
In the least of the lighted
Eyes was on a roll
And the deep and the sweet hearth
Couldn't keep the word in you
You can draw it in and draw it back
Pull the best behind you
You wanna leave I got it back
You can draw it in a draw it back
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot with them
How deep is this soul I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot with them
Lately little love could call
And get in my way
Maybe we could draw this out
Of our dark display
How deep is this soul I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot within
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot within
To sink this quarry under
What the murder on the pride would bring
Lion, crow, your kingdom
Loaded in the stoned heart
I couldn't keep the woods in you
You had to learn about the hardest things
The softest side would leave you
And on days like this
I could take apart my window
So let down, I been so let down
How deep is the hole I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot with it
In the least of the lighted
Eyes was on a roll
And the deep and the sweet hearth
Couldn't keep the word in you
You can draw it in and draw it back
Pull the best behind you
You wanna leave I got it back
You can draw it in a draw it back
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot with them
How deep is this soul I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot with them
Lately little love could call
And get in my way
Maybe we could draw this out
Of our dark display
How deep is this soul I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot within
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of lights and done a lot within

So, these are definitely the corrected lyrics:
Leave it on the hottest day
To sink this quarry under
What the murder on the pride would bring
Lion, crow, your kingdom
Loaded in the stone heart
I couldn't keep the woods in you
You had to learn about the hardest things
The softest side would leave you
And on days like these
I could take apart my window
So let down
I was so let down
(chorus):
How deep is this soul I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
In the least of the lighted
Eyes was on a roll
And the deep and the sweet hearth
Couldn't keep the word in you
You can draw it in and draw it back
Pull the past behind you
You wanna leave I got it back
You can draw it in and draw it back
(chorus x1)
Lately little love could call
And get in my way
Maybe we could draw this out
of our dark display (x2)
(chorus x1)
//Leave it on the hottest day
To sink this quarry under//
To sink a quarry means to take down a victim from what it seems in this context.
//What the murder on the pride would bring
Lion, crow, your kingdom
Loaded in the stone heart
I couldn't keep the woods in you//
The man she loves has a cold heart, someone who she knows is murderous in an emotional sense, and will probably some how victimize her heart. He has the "woods in him" or he is dangerous for her. The "pride" here could be symbolic of the girl, the man's family, whatever else that belongs to the man; he is committing some sort of an act that is harming the "pride".
//You had to learn about the hardest things
The softest side would leave you//
//And on days like these
I could take apart my window
So let down
I was so let down//
(chorus):
//How deep is this soul I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it//
She is into him still, he still feels his soul and wonder how far in she is in to retract her heart out of the "woods".
... Just my interpretation of the first part, don't know about the rest!
'How deep is this soul I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in?
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it'
means that she has seen a lot of light or hope, in his heart, that he can be right for her and she's done the best she can to use that. Yet, she is deep inside and can't seem to get out of it because she still loves him, regardless how cruel his actions.
"how deep is this hole, I feel I'm in?
seen lights out
don't go out with them."
she is hard to understand, but man this song is so amazing.
