New Graves Lyrics by Eric Bass

I Had A Name

2025

[Intro]
\nBetter get your life right
\n
\n[Verse 1]
\n[Kigu?] and Azailia sittin' in a tree
\nTalking 'bout dreams and what they want to be
\nAzailia said she never thought she'd steal souls for a living
\nAnd [Kigu?] hasn't come to terms with all of his misgivings
\nWhile the kids are in a prison yard, plugged into a system
\nWhere murder is a way of life and everyone's a victim
\nThey're dreaming of a day where their words don't have to rhyme
\nAnd none of them have to think about running out of time
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBetter make some noisе while you can
\nBetter gеt your life right with the man
\nBecause your eyes are cold and you're getting old
\nAnd they're digging new graves every day
\nBetter find some joy that's for real
\nBetter make more love then you steal
\nBecause your eyes are cold and you're getting old
\nAnd they're digging new graves every day
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nGrace is in a holding cell that looks just like an office
\nHe'd like to take a day off, but he can't put down the bottle
\nIt's time to go to work, they're sounding the alarm
\nBut its hard to throw a punch, with that needle in your arm
\nHe wants to be a better man, but he's plugged into a system
\nWhere suicide is a way of life and everyone's a victim
\nHe'd like to get away, he wants to change the sound
\nBut he'd probably still be gridlocked, when they put him in the ground
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBetter make some noise while you can
\nBetter get your life right with the man
\nBecause your eyes are cold and you're getting old
\nAnd they're digging new graves every day
\nBetter find some joy that's for real
\nBetter make more love then you steal
\nBecause your eyes are cold and you're getting old
\nAnd they're digging new graves every day
\n
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nYou're attention-starved, at times rejected
\nThrown around, beaten down, forgotten, neglected
\nSpoiler alert, I've read the book of life
\nAnd by the last page we were all the same, and none of us survived
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBetter make some noise while you can
\n(Make some noise while you can)
\nBetter get your life right with the man
\n(Get your life right with the man)
\nBecause your eyes are cold and you're getting old
\nAnd they're digging new graves every day
\nBetter find some joy that's for real
\n(Well then find some joy that's for real)
\nBetter make more love then you steal
\n(And you'll make more love than you steal)
\nBecause your eyes are cold and you're getting old
\nAnd they're digging new graves every day
\n
\n[Outro]
\nSo if your eyes are cold and you care to let go
\nThey're digging new graves every day\n\n
