THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE lyrics : "Shallow Grave"

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 while she borrows
Her favors bought and sold
She is 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
