In The Grave

V1.

Took a new job in the city

And gave up small town life

For better opportunities

For his children and his wife

The neighborhood seemed safe enough

Right up until it wasn’t

And when I ask him how it all went down

He don’t want to discuss it

Chorus

Only you control the narrative

On who will cry the tears

Carried by six of your best friends

Or judged by twelve of your peers

Live of die. The choice is yours

Who’s life you gonna save

You’ve either got to end his time

Or he’ll put you in the grave.

V2.

When he heard the glass break

He reached into that drawer

He knew just how to use it

But he never had before.

With eyes locked and hammer cocked

He thought about his family

But all he’ll really ever say

Is “It was him or it was me.”

Chorus

Only you control the narrative

On who will cry the tears

Carried by six of your best friends

Or judged by twelve of your peers

Live of die. The choice is yours

Who’s life you gonna save

You’ve either got to end his time

Or he’ll put you in the grave.

Bridge

In the dead of the night

Under bright moonlight

A decision had to be made

Shots rang out in the slience

But it ain’t random violence

When a family needs to be saved

Chorus

Only you control the narrative

On who will cry the tears

Carried by six of your best friends

Or judged by twelve of your peers

Live of die. The choice is yours

Who’s life you gonna save

You’ve either got to end his time

Or he’ll put you in the grave
