lyrics

Make my bed out of the earth
Wrap my body in the cold, wet dirt
I place bets on things that stick
So I’ll take the pot on this home I’ve built

I’m a faker
And a failure
I’m just living like a dog

Make myself a bed of bones
Each one a wrong that I can’t atone
And all the promises I’ve made
I will dig each one a grave

Make my bed out of the earth
Wrap my body in the cold, wet dirt
Sleep in this bed I’ve made myself
No one can hear when I call for help

I’m a faker
And a failure
I’m just living like a dog

I’m a faker
And a failure
I’m just living like a dog
