all it takes is for someone to see the signs of life that lies beneath
night and day I’m crawling in the dark to find there’s nobody here but me
I’m not asleep, I’m not awake – this darkness falls around me
I’m not alive, but I’m not dead – hoping that you might find me

my shallow grave, my shallow grave
beyond the reach of sunlight
my shallow grave, my shallow grave
this is what helpless feels like
but I know that someday you’ll uncover me

I lie in wait for you to finally realize this love that dies beneath
and I’d embrace the one who buried me alive just for the chance to breathe
I’m not asleep, I’m not awake – this darkness falls around me
I’m not alive, but I’m not dead – hoping that you might find me

my shallow grave, my shallow grave
beyond the reach of sunlight
my shallow grave, my shallow grave
this is what hopeless feels like
but I know that someday you’ll discover me
and I know that someday you’ll uncover me

you gotta clear this dirt away
you gotta clear this dirt away from me

my shallow grave, my shallow grave
beyond the reach of sunlight
my shallow grave, my shallow grave
this is what hell must feel like
my shallow grave
beyond the grace of sunlight
my shallow grave
I’m running out of time
but I know that someday you’ll discover me
and I know that someday you’ll uncover me
yeah, I know that someday you’ll belong to me
