For the above part, the 111 means tremelo
strumming while holding the first fret,
Paul plays it down-up-down very quickly, twice.

Most of this is pretty accurate, not 100% but close
I watched Paul play this live twice and reviewed the
videotape, so some of this (the intro) is correct,
some of it was tabbed by ear.
LYRICS:
A darker whole concealed, within the folds of a truth revealed
A blank passage, unread chapter, in my book of memories
It crawls though the space behind my face
trying to complicate the scene that surrounds me
slapped in the face, a bitter taste
lingers to penetrate, amuse and astound me
Striving to widen the spaces of consciousness
It still keeps me locked up inside myself
Searching for some sort of revelation
Failing to confront the situation
I keep slipping
I push it down, beneath the surface
Ive forgotten, but Its still there
It crawls though the space behind my face
rying to complicate the scene that surrounds me
slapped in the face, a bitter taste
lingers to penetrate, amuse and astound me
and I cant forget
and I cant forgive
and I still regret
and I still re-live
standing on the edge I see
emptiness and fading dreams
shallow pools of everything
nothing seems to comfort me
born into obscurity
cannot find security
clouded by the hate I feel
look to what I know is real
nothing but the world around me
still I fall, back through
still I fall, in to
a darker hole
a darker whole
and I cant forget
and I cant forgive
and I still regret
and I still re-live
