lyrics

Im digging the dirt
In a desert
With a spade and sweat on my shirt

Somebody up there
On a easy chair
Looking at me with a blank stare

Im feeling hurt
Cant say a word
Like a caged bird, my song?s unheard

A hand in the air
Telling me to stop and stare
My burden is too big to share

I know I should stop
And let it drop

I should let it go
Let it flow and flow

CHORUS

Im digging the dirt
feeling hurt
like a love sick flirt

Im digging

VERSE 2

Im picking up the pieces
After the deceased
A love gone wrong

It seems all wrong
My case was strong
Somehow I can?t sing my song

grinding my teeth
whispering
loathing
cant feel the ground under my feet
I know I should stop
And let it drop

I should let it go
Let it flow and flow

CHORUS

Im digging the dirt
feeling hurt
like a love sick flirt

Im digging

BRIDGE

I carry my anger like a hunchback
My smile is cracked
And there?s no way to get it back
