[Verse 1] I clock in with a bruise on my name Paper cuts and a badge that says "fine" They stack up the boxes of blame Like I’m built to stay in line Coffee gone cold by eight fifteen Smile for the screen, take the hit They say "be a team" when they mean "be unseen" But I’m still standing in it [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands on the wheel Even when the road gets mean They try to make me kneel But I’m too stubborn to leave [Chorus] Not good enough, I know Still, I’m growing, still I go Six feet deep, six feet deep I bloom where they bury me Not good enough, I know Still, I’m shining through the smoke Six feet deep, six feet deep I bloom where they bury me (bury me) [Verse 2] They got a room full of empty applause And a chart full of holes in the top Every yes comes with hidden claws Every no says "don’t you stop" I’ve been the spare part, the extra chair The almost, the maybe, the soon But I lace up my grief like a dare And I outrun the room [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands on the wheel Even when the road gets mean They try to make me kneel But I’m too stubborn to leave [Chorus] Not good enough, I know Still, I’m growing, still I go Six feet deep, six feet deep I bloom where they bury me Not good enough, I know Still, I’m shining through the smoke Six feet deep, six feet deep I bloom where they bury me (bury me) [Bridge] Let them build their little grave Let them file me under "failed" I got roots in the pavement And a pulse that won’t get pale I was never made to fold Never made to play the ghost I turn every hand they throw Into a ladder, up I go [Final Chorus] Not good enough, I know Still, I’m growing, still I go Six feet deep, six feet deep I bloom where they bury me Not good enough, I know Still, I’m shining through the smoke Six feet deep, six feet deep I bloom where they bury me (bury me)
