buried under

i wish that i didn't have to see

a confident as an enemy

common lies and the lines you cross

helplessly i can only watch

dodging words as they ricochet

honesty that'll never pay

your convictions i believe

like an apparition haunting me

now the truth is a ball and chain

holding my conscience to the flame

it's covered up but still i know

the secrets of a life your guilty of

a smoking gun is what i found

the dirt i have on you is the ground

oh

i'm buried under

trying to tread through sinkin' sand

in your way

you know i can't stand

what i thought was meant to be

is a broken heart weighing down on me

now the truth is a ball and chain

holding my conscience to the flame

it's covered up but still i know

the secrets of a life your guilty of

a smoking gun is what i found

the dirt i have on you is the ground

oh

i'm buried under

yeah

i'm buried under

ohhh

i'm buried under

can you fall for the wings of a dove

when the clever wolf is the one you love?

now the truth is a ball and chain

holding my conscience to the flame

it's covered up but still i know

the secrets of a life your guilty of

a smoking gun is what i found

the dirt i have on you is the ground

oh

i'm buried under

i wish that i didn't have to see

a confident as an enemy
