Lyrics Diggin' My Own Grave - Glenn Kaiser

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
