I lost my savior the other day, and that's okay
I cut my face when I smashed it through the mirror, it'll be okay
I guess I just like being down here in this sewer, and I'm okay
Gray skies bring me the storms and the rain,
And drown me in my grave, make everything okay
Dig myself a hole, and fill it full of me,
Everyday I'm living everyday, until I sleep for eternity
Oh please god help me
I lost my faith it just went away, it's such a shame
I burnt my face with my fever boiling tears, oh what a shame
Can't seem to hold on to anything that's worthy, oh what a shame
Red sky bring me the heat and the flames,
Burn me up inside my grave, make everything okay
Dig myself a hole, and fill it full of me,
Everyday I'm living everyday, until I sleep for eternity
I chew on the bones, and then spit out the meat
I'll just keep on keeping on until my life is done
Until Life's hour glass drains to empty
Oh please god help me
Sands of my life, suffocate me,
Lay me down, death please come for me
Dig myself a hole, and fill it full of me,
Everyday I'm living everyday, until I sleep for eternity
I chew on the bones, and then spit out the meat
I'll just keep on keeping on until my life is done
Until life's hour glass drains to empty
Dig myself a hole, fill it full of me,
