Digging Under the Floorboards

[VERSE 1] Took everything from the world But never returned the favour. Built a name with paper But never with acceptable pages. Been through the courts Tangled in cords While drowning in quarts of booze. I’m the furthest from ideal ’Cause all I ever knew was how to lose. I can try to say I changed, But impossible to prove. Sweep my pain under the rug Hand me the broom Losing my cool Skinned like wool Skinned alive, nothing even moving Frozen movements show hollowness Tragedy, ’Cause before It looked like he was gonna be a leader Having everyone following Everyone believing. But now he’s lost in war Where nobody’s keeping score. [VERSE 2] I’m digging at the floor Like I can hide under the floorboards. But at the same time poking the monster Begging for more. I know exactly where it sleeps, Still I’m knocking at the door. I know exactly what it wants, But still I give it more. Got my hands beneath the surface, Feel the dirt under my nails. Every inch I dig makes me feel jailed in my skin. [VERSE 3] Every layer that I uncover Feels familiar underneath. Something breathing in the darkness, Something buried underneath me. I should stop before I find it, But I’m curious what’s below. Every warning says to leave it, Still I keep on digging more. Got the floorboards coming loose, Got the dust in my lungs. I can feel it getting closer, Like it knows what I’ve become. [BREAK] This is hell. [VERSE 4] I should stop before I find it, But I’m curious what’s below. Every warning says to leave it, Still I keep on digging more. Got the floorboards coming loose, Got the dust in my lungs. I can feel it getting closer, Like it knows what I’ve become.
