Shallow Grave - The Birthday Massacre

Her voice cuts through the walls

Rings through everything that’s hollow

These bitter words recall

All that’s left and hard to swallow

She was always good for nothing when the good broke bad

All she’s got to lose is everything she never has

(Every back turned to her)

We put her down in a shallow grave

She wears a dress like a body bag every day

And this way she won’t have to run away

And she can keep her regrets at bay every day

Her blood runs hot to cold

Always breaking all she borrows

Her favors bought and sold

She lives like she’s dead tomorrow

Just another reason looking for the next because

Just another has been wishing that she never was

(Every back turned to her)

We put her down in a shallow grave

She wears a dress like a body bag every day

And this way she won’t have to run away

And she can keep her regrets at bay every day

Tomorrow’s not a new day

Or time to think things through

As patience starts to fall away

A day can feel like two

When we gave her a new face

The past was out of view

She never fooled us because she could never fool herself

We put her down in a shallow grave

She wears a dress like a body bag every day

And this way she won’t have to run away

And she can keep her regrets a bay every day
