Six Feet Down
Six feet down,
Is the only love I’ve ever known.
Six feet down,
Is the only place I have left to go.
Frozen and lonely,
Lost and only,
Searching for the truth.
I’m dying to know what I once knew.
Only six feet down,
Lay one prefect crown.
Six feet down,
Is the most perfect frown.
I’ll stand above the ground.
And wear my solemn frown.
Let the water flow,
From my eyes.
‘Cause six feet down,
Frozen, unalive.
Six feet down,
No longer around.
I break down,
Crying, I am dying.
You gave up,
So why do I care so much?
Six feet down,
Under ground.
Six feet down,
I can’t see you here.
And I can feel your breath,
But your not here with me.
I can’t cry, my eyes are dry.
I can’t think, you took my thoughts away from me.
Six feet down,
Your heart can’t beat.
Six feet down,
You just sleep.
I can’t see but,
I can feel you near.
And you whisper to me,
But when I turn, I can’t find you there.
Six feet down,
Black death surrounds you.
Six feet down,
I still want to hold you.
And I die,
‘Cause this grave is cold and lonely.
And I cry,
‘Cause you were my one and only.
But now your six feet down,
Lying under ground.
Six feet down,
I’m searching all around.
Six feet down,
And I want to know, why you left me alone.
With no one to console me,
No one but myself to hold me.
