Six feet of earth above my head Keeps me safe from what she says Six walls of wood to keep them out Their smart remarks, the screams the shouts They scream, they shout
There's only one way to drown them out
I hear your voice I hit the ground You looked for me but I'm not around In that small cafe there I wrote it down
I looked for you, you were not around You're the buring lie that kills my child He's gone underground I've gone underground
I've gone underground I've gone underground
Some come to pay their last respects
Or beckon me to come around They leave dried flowers in the air Or place their feelings on the doorstep At best they try to understand And offer plans, most futile plans
Here in this darkness I can see
Your skin is the closest thing to grace It dancelike goes upon my fingers And feelings fly, they're still alive
There's only one way to drown them out I hear your voice I hit the ground You looked for me but I'm not around In that small cafe there I wrote it down
I looked for you, you were not around You're the buring lie that kills my child She's gone underground I've gone underground
Six feet of earth above my head Don't keep me safe from what she says Six walls of wood don't keep them out These frightful screams come from inside They lay with me here through the night
