I'm trapped inside this hole that's six feet underground
The silence's almost deafening with no one around
Feel the heartbeat of the earth drum beneath my fingertips
Reviving the missing truth that lies on my cold dead lips
But the stitches in my eyelids make me blind
And the removal of my brain has left me paralyzed
So I'll stay here where I can feel the walls are closing in
Try not to feel exposed as they rub off my skin
But the locusts tell my ears that everything's okay
How was I to know that I'd be digging my own grave?
I'll scream until the dirt does bleed my pain
Then I'll bleed until my ashes fall as rain
I hide under a pile of lies
So no one sees the secrets behind these immoral eyes
No one understands and they never will
My life is like a big long bill
I have to pay the price of living
It's myself that I'm giving
Only one thing in the way now to my brand new start
Have to remove this filthy liar that I call my heart
I have glued down both my hands against my chest
And my tongue has been cut out so I cannot protest
So, I'll lay here as they look down on me in my sleep
Never knowing just what was really happening
And I feel the traitor beating in my broken chest
Laughing cause, it knows I ended up just like the rest
I'll scream until the dirt does bleed my pain
Then I'll bleed until my ashes fall as rain
