Your shovel digs the grave so shallow
How do you look them in the eyes?
You hail your every step as hallowed
How do you walk among the lies?
You wear your crown so heavy with pride
How do you hold your head so high?
Your spirit is never satisfied
How do you find your sleep at night
I wanted to run ‘til my feet were left bleeding
But I could not move
I want to scream at the top of my lungs
Yet no sound came through
You gorge yourself from other’s plates
How do you keep your appetite?
Your strength lies in lying in wait
How did you learn to face the fight?
(chorus)
Your dagger plunges without morals
How do you wash your hands of blood?
You sink down to rest on your laurels
How did you rise above the mud?
(chorus)
I wanted to swing my fists ‘til they were broken
But my arms stood still
I wanted to set fire to the foundations
Yet I lost the will
How do you do the deed so well?
