Diggin' My Own Grave

I was lookin at disaster square in the face I was losin stride in the human race And I had no one to plead my case Blowin smoke in my own face Lost my grip in a slip'ry time I left my friends by the wayside And I was sure nuff no friend of mine When you need to be rescued, now is the time Sweat drips and eyes burn Lips pressed tight on this hardened face I was diggin my own grave Pain in my heart, mud all over my dreams Stumblin, fallen, just a downhill disease Cause the up was nonexistent, and I was the down And they talked behind my back all over town Theres nothin more tragic than a suicidal slave I was diggin my own grave Sweat drips and eyes burn Lips pressed tight on this hardened face And the head hangs, heart breaks, soul bleeds I was diggin my own grave And the lights came on, I swear I don't know how And I let go of the here and now And the Son of Man said He came to seek and save Now I aint diggin no more, no more diggin My own grave
