Burials

With one hand I dig my grave
And with the other I calm the waves
But can you see me drowning?
Can you see me drowning!?!
I've been dragged and pulled under
These waters, they leave me torn asunder
I'm choking on the words I swallow
On these words abject and hollow

Stripped of all my honour
Under water I'm now a goner...

Digging my grave, down deep under
My heart's constricted
My breath's conflicted
Look up, look up, I'm six feet under
This is my burial!
This is my burial...

I'll brace myself, hold my head high
Keep my chin up and stay afloat
Don't blink twice or miss the chance
I only have one moment to catch a glance
But I'm in a liquid coffin... a grave at sea
These nails that close it muffle me

As the bell that knells counts to my end
My seconds are numbered by liquid death
Trapped and cornered
Confused and startled
Bones aching and spine shaking
The water consumes my frailty

Digging my grave, down deep under
My heart's constricted
My breath's conflicted
Look up, look up, I'm six feet under
This is my burial!
This is my burial...

I'm gasping for air! No one can save me now!
I'm in so deep! No one can save me now!

Digging my grave, down deep under
My heart's constricted
My breath's conflicted
Look up, look up, I'm six feet under
This is my burial!
This is my burial...

I only had one life to live
And life said no!!
