Digging Out Our Graves


Everyone here knows better than us
But what's to expect when it isn't discussed?
You can always find answers if you look hard enough
So concentrate steady to call on their bluffs

If it's really that easy for people to see
Then why can't these things be as easy for me?
Questions to ponder while the silence remains
I'd stand up for answers but instead I'll refrain

Silent words keep focusing
On the things we couldn't save
Holding on to nothing less
While we're digging out our graves
We're still digging out our graves

No one confesses what's left on their minds
It's just a trap door we keep struggling to find
Latching on tightly to the edge of our seats
Hoping to God that the past won't repeat

Meet the future coming through
Let's go out with faith renewed
Misconstrued, the prize that lies below

Silent words keep focusing
On the things we couldn't save
Holding on to nothing less
While we're digging out our graves
We're still digging out our graves

Beneath the dirt we're all the same
All equals in our own mistakes
Never once to be explained again

Instances where we'd ride proud
High horses trotting on the grounds
But pretty soon they'll shut you up instead
Pretty soon they'll shut you up instead

Silent words keep focusing
On the things we couldn't save
Holding on to nothing less
While we're digging out our graves
We're still digging out our graves

Meet the future coming through
Let's go out with faith renewed
Misconstrued, the prize that lies below
For every single reason left to know
