LYRICS

Enemies right left side of me
In my dreams
Wake me up dreams, wake me up
Try to breathe six feet underneath
You can't see what I've become
See what I've become

More than just a boy
Trying to stay alive
Reaching for the sky
When they ask about the story about my life
Tell 'em
"Go figure, go figure"

I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
Go figure, go figure
I turnеd out to be the gravediggеr
My own gravedigger
When you call my name
Don't you know I'm not the same
Go figure, go figure
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger

Put me down
Gave me the runaround
Now just look at what you've done
Look at what you've done
I am found
Born from the dust and the underground
Bringing me back to life from the curses that you handed out

More than just a boy
Trying to stay alive
Reaching for the sky
When they ask about the story about my life
Tell 'em
"Go figure, go figure"

I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
Go figure, go figure
I turned out to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
When you call my name
Don't you know I'm not the same
Go figure, go figure
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger

Cold blooded youngin
He was born from death
Could've touched the sky
But he was stuck in his head
What a shame, what a shame
Guess we'll wait for the next
Till I rise from the ashes
What you think I said?
Cold blooded young
He was born from death
Could've touched the sky
But he was stuck in his head
What a shame, what a shame
Guess we'll wait for the next
Till I rise from the ashes
What you think I said?

"Go figure, go figure"
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
Go figure, go figure
I turned out to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
