Shallow Graves
Covered in a loose blanket of dirt and rocks
Not long since you found yourself broke off
Abandoned and alone on the streets
But to me, all I see is meat
Flesh covered in fear and cheap ink
Afraid, your nerves are on the brink
Sweetness, I know you have what I need
The papers, they all tell stories of me
Shallow Graves!
I am Shallow Graves!
I have strangled and I have ripped
Who am I? I’ll give you a tip
I have feasted and I have clowned
I know just how to keep your down
A son of Sam, I’m in your flesh
Suffering my only wish
The stark weather on the highway
Come to me, don’t waste the day
Shallow Graves!
I am Shallow Graves!
I see the way you look at me
Stranger in the night
Your scent intoxicates me
I’m here for you
When we’re done you’ll know my name
You will scream…
Shallow Graves!
It’s Shallow Graves!
