Lyrics

I’m digging my way I’m digging my way to something I’m digging my way to something better I’m pushing to stay I’m pushing to stay with something I’m pushing to stay with something better I’m sowing the seeds I’m sowing the seeds I’ve taken I’m sowing the seeds I take for granted This thorn in my side This thorn in my side is from the tree This thorn in my side is from the tree I’ve planted It tears me and I bleed And I bleed Caught under wheels’ roll I take the leech, I’m bleeding me Can’t stop to save my soul I take the leash that’s leading me I’m bleeding me I can’t take it Caught under wheels’ roll The bleeding of me Of me The bleeding of me I am the beast that feeds the feast I am the blood, I am release Come make me pure Bleed me a cure I’m caught, I’m caught, I’m caught under Caught under wheels’ roll I take that leech, I’m bleeding me Can’t stop to save my soul I take the leash that’s leading me I’m bleeding me I can’t take it I can’t take it I can’t take it The bleeding of me I’m digging my way I’m digging my way to something I’m digging my way to something better I’m pushing to stay I’m pushing to stay with something I’m pushing to stay with something better With something better
