Black Lung Songtext
von Archers

I used to think I was better than this
I used to think I would never fall prey to the end
I doubt I′ll think anything more than
The numbness that holds me together
I heard a sign, my own device
Telling myself that everything is fine
But the cracks in the wall are starting to show
I can't keep pretending this is not my home

I′ve been digging my own grave
Ever since the day I learned to speak
Always making promises that honestly I never meant to keep
Looking back at the mess I've made
And those who fell along the way
I feel your guilt deep down inside
Before it eats me alive


If there is a God, I'm convinced that he wants nothing to do with me
I′ve broken him down, abandoned him
Everyone within my reach
The bitter taste on my tongue
From breathing in the ashes
Black lung, I′ve got black lung

I've been digging my own grave
Ever since the day I learned to speak
Always making promises that honestly I never meant to keep
Looking back at the mess I′ve made
And those who fell along the way
I feel your guilt deep down inside
Before it eats me alive

I'll carve their names into my bones
So I can′t see, but also know
I'll carve their names into my bones
Into my bones

Safe behind the walls inside my head
I built them up to knock them down again
And now I′m wishing no one could see me
So I can finally roam


I've been digging my own grave
Ever since the day I learned to speak
Always making promises that honestly I never meant to keep
Looking back at the mess I've made
And those who fell along the way
I feel your guilt deep down inside
Before it eats me alive

Before it eats me alive
