Shallow Grave Lyrics

A darkened disposition leading me astray

Enchanting lies catch hollow eyes

A fate you can't escape

This cold grasp isolates me where I lie

Leave me in this pain to drown

So far from six feet down

I'm left alone, just beneath the surface

No one can hear me now, so close, yet far away

On your pale horse, dig my shallow grave

For now, and forever, nothing left for me to save

One more time, I try to scratch the surface

I stand no chance against the overwhelming force

The soil chokes me, but I'm not so deep

Does it even matter?

This is where my soul will keep

Desolation flooding me

To think I haven't tried to be set free

Empty tombs surrounding me

To think I haven't bled for anything

Nameless graves are all I see

There's nobody left to hear me plead

Buried above the ones condemning me

I'll never leave, forever haunting in your sleep

Forever haunting in your sleep

Grab your shovel, pile it on

Lay the soil until I'm gone

Pound the nails into the oak

Snuff the air and pray I'll choke

This cold grasp isolates me where I lie

Leave me in this pain to drown

So far from six feet down

I'm left alone, just beneath the surface

No one can hear me now, so close, yet far away

On your pale horse, dig my shallow grave

For now, and forever, nothing left for me to save

I'm left alone, just beneath the surface

No one can hear me now, so close, yet far away

On your pale horse, dig my shallow grave

For now, and forever

You dug me this hole

You put me into this shallow grave

Forgiveness unknown

No room to breathe in this shallow grave
