From Beneath

[Intro — distant, distorted vocal] Living under this world Where the daylight doesn’t reach Something’s breathing in the walls Something’s calling from beneath [Verse 1] Every year the weight gets older Every mile, another stone The more I fight to climb above it The more it learns to pull me low Everlasting pain remembers Every place I tried to hide Waits until the room goes quiet Then it crawls back through my mind I can feel it in the floorboards I can hear it when I sleep Feeding lies into my dreams From somewhere underneath [Pre-Chorus] It wants my name It wants my breath It wants whatever I got left But I’m still here I’m still awake And I won’t give it what it came to take [Chorus] Something’s calling from beneath Trying to bury what’s left of me Pulling me down where the light can’t reach But I won’t belong to the dark underneath Let it whisper Let it scream Let it poison every dream I’m still breathing I’m still me You won’t take me From beneath [Verse 2] Some nights I wake up empty Like somebody stole the air Like the person in the mirror Left his body standing there Darkness doesn’t need a doorway Doesn’t knock before it comes It just finds the weakest moment And reminds you what you’ve done Every wound becomes a window Every memory grows teeth And the past keeps digging upward Trying to drag me underneath [Pre-Chorus] It wants my name It wants my breath It wants whatever I got left But I’m still here I’m still awake And I won’t give it what it came to take [Chorus] Something’s calling from beneath Trying to bury what’s left of me Pulling me down where the light can’t reach But I won’t belong to the dark underneath Let it whisper Let it scream Let it poison every dream I’m still breathing I’m still me You won’t take me From beneath [Bridge — beat drops / nearly spoken] I know your voice I’ve heard it before You sound like regret You sound like a closing door You sound like every lie I almost believed That nothing waits above me So I might as well sink But you forgot one thing— I learned how deep you go And if I’ve seen the bottom Then I know the way home [Build] So pull Pull harder Dig your hands into my feet You can shake the ground below me But you don’t get to keep me [Final Chorus — full cinematic production] Something’s calling from beneath Trying to bury what’s left of me Pulling me down where the light can’t reach But I won’t belong to the dark underneath Let it whisper Let it scream Let it poison every dream I’m still breathing I’m still me YOU WON’T TAKE ME FROM BENEATH [Outro — stripped, distant vocal] Living under this world I finally learned one thing Darkness only pulls you downward When you believe There’s nothing above it.
