Dig Your Own Grave Lyrics by The Dear Hunter

Migrant Returned

2013

[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the edge too long
Wondering if my legs are gonna push me off
The feeling in the back of my neck
When I trouble trustin' the person I become
[Verse 2]
I've been digging in the ground too far
And it looks too deep to make it out of here alone
But I know the painful truth
I could climb right out if I really, really want
[Chorus]
Burn what you need of me
I'll give you a fire to light your soul
To be your coal when you need it
Then burn all that's left of me
Then leave me to die
The fire's grown out of control, out of control
[Verse 3]
I've got the world weighing down my chest
It takes the best I can to keep air in my lungs
But I'm still shoveling dirt right on my back
To keep me from ever getting up
[Chorus]
Burn what you need of me
I'll give you a fire to light your soul
To be your coal when you need it
Then burn all that's left of me
Then leave me to die
The fire's grown out of control, out of control
[Verse 4]
I've been staring at the edge too long
Wondering if my legs are gonna push me off
The feeling in the back of my neck
When I trouble trust in the person I become
[Chorus]
Burn what you need of me
I'll give you a fire to light your soul
To be your coal when you need it
Burn all that's left of me
Then leave me to die
The fire's grown out of control, out of control
