(Verse 1)
Stare at the ceiling, watch the shadows creep
Same four walls that see everything
Can't feel my hands, can't feel my face
Buried myself in this cold dark place
Wasting away, with a borrowed high
Another promise, just another lie
To climb out of the hole I dug on my own
Just to fill it with another drug I know
(Chorus)
This shallow grave is getting deep
All the promises I can't keep
The taste of copper, the bitter sweet
Choking on every single lie I eat
Oh, the shallow grave is where I'll stay
'Til tomorrow comes to take me away
And leave me here to rot and rust
Just a pile of bones, and a handful of dust
(Verse 2)
Left a note on the floor, it said "don’t worry"
Another page ripped from a tired story
Felt the sickness, and I let it win
Letting the outside just cave right in
Lost the fight before it even began
Left to the shadows, the darkness wins
The mirror's blurry, the colors are grey
Yeah, hitting ground zero, feeling no pain
(Chorus)
This shallow grave is getting deep
All the promises I can't keep
The taste of copper, the bitter sweet
Choking on every single lie I eat
Oh, the shallow grave is where I'll stay
'Til tomorrow comes to take me away
And leave me here to rot and rust
Just a pile of bones, and a handful of dust
(Bridge)
I tell myself that I don't need it
Whisper the lie, and I believe it
Chasing the feeling just to feel the crash
A temporary fire from a pile of ash
Yeah, the silence roars louder than the sound
Nothing but pieces on broken ground
(Outro)
Shallow grave...
I'm not an addict...
Just lost the key to my own cage...
Shallow grave...
Shallow grave
