The song is about envy, which is Number 6 on the list of The Seven Deadly Sins. Specifically, it concerns how the envious idiots that occupy message boards and unleash torrents of anonymous internet criticism are digging their own graves. Blythe explained the hook (“The number six. Leviathan”) to Ke...
[Verse 1]
Sloth is the enemy of greatness
Reflection, a scalpel to my mind
We strive as you leisurely criticize
A free ride, until you find that
You've dug your own grave
Lie by lie
[Chorus]
Just a running mouth
Poison words you throw about
Drag you to your end
The number six
Leviathan
[Post-Chorus]
You've dug your own grave
With your spite
You've dug your own grave
Lie by lie
[Verse 2]
A cancer that needs to be cut out
Sweet slander, the razor to your throat
Trim the fat, a loose end
To be tied up and cast aside
Left to find that
You've dug your own grave
With your spite
[Chorus]
Just a running mouth
Poison words you throw about
Drag you to your end
The number six
Leviathan
Poison words you throw about
Drag you to your end
The number six
Leviathan
[Bridge]
A relentless imposition
By a self-fulfilling travesty
From one who is just rotting there
In slut's wool and zero history
Aesthetic condemning
Erratic condescending!
An empty barrel always makes the most noise
And I begin to feel my hands
My hands around your throat!
Your throat!
Erratic condescending!
[Pre-Chorus]
You've dug your own grave
With your spite
You've dug your own grave
Lie by lie
[Chorus]
Just a running mouth
Poison words you throw about
Drag you to your end
The number six, leviathan
Poison words you throw about
Drag you to your end
The number six, leviathan
[Outro]
You've dug your own grave
You've dug your own grave
The number six
Leviathan!
You've dug your own grave
A running mouth!
You've dug your own grave
And poison words!
You've dug your own grave
Will be your end!
The number six
Leviathan!
