Underground
Run little girl
in broken family ties
remember when you thought your soul was gone
I remember
it happened for so long
and now it's weird to see you layin' round
but I guess that's normal, if you're burried underground
I guess that's normal, if you're buried underground

beauty flees from me
I didn't mean to scare you
reality laughs as I watch with eyes wide open
I'm sorting through the clutter
and looking in the mirror
the person looking at me isn't who I know
but I guess that's normal, if you're buried underground
I guess that's normal, if you're buried underground

I got a rash so big it will take away your soul
as you serve lies out of Momma's candy bowl
I'm falling in a hole that can't be found
the loudest man on earth doesn't make a sound
blind groping hands whisper their way through immortality
don't leave me lingering, go ahead come take your toll
I'm freed from time, yet a prisoner of moments
as the act of being now takes its course
someone stole my youth today, but it's okay
and I guess that's normal, if you're buried underground
I guess that's normal, if you're buried underground

oh turn away useless thought of care
alone may you drink your wine now
atop the silver moon masked in fire
I'm closing my eyes

I stared at the sun for way too long
and in result, I now lost my sight
what the clock reads is how I feel
these afflictions have seemed to wear me down

the candle in the corner is burning pretty low
as I sit and allow time to pass me by
exhuberance unmentioned in a madman's scream
while the stars breathe a beauty unthought about
and I guess that's normal, if you're buried underground
I guess that's normal, if you're buried underground

some day the sun will shine in my direction
with no more time to think of hidden afflictions
may I please sing you a song, dear January
before little girl Wednesday begins to pout
I don't take you for granted, so will you lend
I guess that's normal, if you're buried underground
I guess that's normal, if you're buried underground
