[Intro]
(Breathe in for three)
(Apparently)
(Then wait and see)
(If not repeat)

[Verse 1]
It can't that be that easy
To get some peace of mind
When my head is spinning
What if I can't get back this time?
I never want to hear the silence
Till I'm in my own head
Trying to remember
Times before I felt like this
Precautions are meaningless
At the bottom of this pit
Looks like I'm riding this one out
Here we fucking go again

[Chorus]
Waste away
In shallow gravеs
I create inside my mind
(Thеse shallow graves won't take me)
There's no escape
From my own brain
Have I really lost my mind?
(These shallow graves, these shallow graves)
[Verse 2]
Straight to hell and flying solo
I know I probably deserve it
All the mistakes that I've made
I know I'll fucking do again
The population passes by me
And I look on from my cage
Why don't they fucking feel like this?
Is it really only me?

[Bridge]
Pretending to be
A human being

[Pre-Chorus]
(Waste away)
(In shallow graves)
(I create inside my mind)
(There's no escape)
(From my own brain)
(Have I really lost my mind?)
These shallow graves won't take me

[Chorus]
Waste away
In shallow graves
I create inside my mind
(These shallow graves won't take me)
There's no escape
From my own brain
Have I really lost my mind?
(These shallow graves, these shallow graves)
[Outro]
(Waste away, waste away, waste away)
