Gravedigger

We pass through this world pretending we belong 
Failing to consider we won’t be here very long
 
Clinging to the illusion we’re in control  
Yet at the end of our dilution  wait’s a graveyard hole 

They’ll dig it wide and six feet deep 
The guy who dig’s it will lose no sleep 

We’re just one more stiff who pay's his bills. 
Fill's his car and buy’s his meals
