[verse] There is a woman underneath me She has my hands and knows my name She sleeps beneath the floorboards And whispers when I feel ashamed I buried her in pieces I taught myself to carry on But every night she scratches upward Every night another layer's gone [chorus] She is underneath me She is wearing through Every lie I built around myself Every lie I called the truth [verse] She remembers what I murdered She remembers what I denied She remembers every moment I abandoned her inside I hear her breathing in the silence I feel her fingers in my skin Maybe she was never buried Maybe I was buried with her in [bridge] Don't wake her Don't let her see What I've become What I've become [verse] Now the woman underneath me Is no longer underneath She is standing in the mirror And she is smiling with my teeth
