I shiver and shake the warm air cold I'm alone on my own In every mistake I dig this hole Through my skin and bones
It's harder starting over Than never to have changed
With Blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave
I sweat through the sheet as daylight fades As I waste away It traps me inside mistakes I've made That's the price I pay
It's harder starting over Than never to have changed
With Blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave
I drop to the floor like I did before Stop watching / I'm coughing / I can't be more What I want and what I need are at constant war Like a well full of poison / A rotten core The blood goes thin / The fever stings And I shake from the hell that the habits bring Let the sick ones down / The bells will ring Put pennies on the eyes / Let the dead men sing
Blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave I'm getting back what I gave I'm getting back what I gave
