I'll Dig the Grave
I'm no man worthy of your time
I spend my days with the swine
Though I feel I've committed no
crime, I've lost faith that wasn't mine
Sunken eyes, swollen tongue, my mind is on the run
What's that thing you always said?
"Try to take it slow"? Get out of the hole"?
You know what it's like?
Took care of my skeletons, put them in the pit
What more is there left to do?
I'll take a dagger to the chest if I could get some rest
Dug this hole, but I'm still digging
I'm going down slowly
I'm enjoying the pace
I was never that holy
I might get used to the place
I've got a cross on my back. It's ruining my spine
But other than that, I guess I'm doing fine
If I could see it I guess I would believe
But just sedate me
I just want to sleep
Don't waste your time on me. You'll attract more flies with honey
Just put my head on a stake
Keep me awake
Sunken eyes, swollen tongue, my mind is on the run
What's that thing you always said?
"Try to take it slow"? Get out of the hole"?
I know what it's like
I buried all my skeletons and I sealed the pit
What more is there left to do?
I'll take a dagger to the chest if I could get some rest
Dug this hole, I'm always digging
I'm going down slowly
I'm enjoying the pace
I was never that holy
I might get used to the place
I've got a cross on my back. It's ruining my spine
But other than that, I guess I'm doing fine
If I could see it I guess I would believe
But just sedate me
I just want to sleep
Got blood on my hands from holding on to the noose
And I've been drowning myself with liquor and the devils blues
And I'd be better, I swear, if I could just stay sober
But I don't want that man
Just bury me when this is over
I've got a cross on my back. It's ruining my spine
But other than that, I guess I'm doing fine
If I could see it I guess I would believe
But just sedate me man
I just want to sleep
I spend my days with the swine
Though I feel I've committed no
crime, I've lost faith that wasn't mine
Sunken eyes, swollen tongue, my mind is on the run
What's that thing you always said?
"Try to take it slow"? Get out of the hole"?
You know what it's like?
Took care of my skeletons, put them in the pit
What more is there left to do?
I'll take a dagger to the chest if I could get some rest
Dug this hole, but I'm still digging
I'm going down slowly
I'm enjoying the pace
I was never that holy
I might get used to the place
I've got a cross on my back. It's ruining my spine
But other than that, I guess I'm doing fine
If I could see it I guess I would believe
But just sedate me
I just want to sleep
Don't waste your time on me. You'll attract more flies with honey
Just put my head on a stake
Keep me awake
Sunken eyes, swollen tongue, my mind is on the run

But other than that, I guess I'm doing fine
If I could see it I guess I would believe
But just sedate me man
I just want to sleep
