R.I.P.
Sharks in your Mouth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Six foot deep
The place built for you to sleep for eternity
I’m here to drag you into this

Six foot deep, I dug a hole for you to sleep in
You can blame it all on me
You can blame it all on me
Surprised to see what a grown man can become

When his hands are tied and the blade feels ice cold

On your skin
On your skin
Pure terror shaking all your body till you faint
I’ll let you sleep for eternity, but first this let me play upon your grave

Drink your tears, you’re not going anywhere
Say your prayer, save your soul cause your body will stay here with me
Let me in
Let me in and feel the steel on your skin
Drink your tears and pray

Six foot deep, the place built for you to sleep for eternity

I’m here to drag you into this
Rest in peace
