Somewhere In the Ground
Somewhere in the Ground
Embarrassed to say goodbye
Hypnotized by the rhythms and beats of time
Where is the truth, you sly lie?
Despised by the crowd that encourages sex and crime
Lying naked on the wooden floor
Scattering with revolting roaches that harass me constantly...they won't leave me alone and eat at me...I groan in pain
Wrapping myself in the grief I adore
Hopes and dreams fails me now while you gather up brainless excuses...it's a pity that you and I are all alone in the rain
Somewhere in the ground,
You'll see me there...you'll see me broken down like a beat-up mirror right in front of you ...I'm starting to grow insane...
Please don't make a sound
You'll notice that you defeated me - you're the winner and I'm a waste of time to you
Make me believe I'm somewhere in the sky
Make me relieve the distress the heart has concealed for so long
Make me believe that I'm above the ground and don't ask why...
Hold me, for I will bring out the good in you and be your favorite song
Somewhere in the ground
Somewhere in the ground
Is not where I belong,
So don't make me feel insecure
Imperfection ain't wrong
I'm a flawed individual and my heart longs for a true cure
Come and set me free...
The load of life is weighing me down again and my shine is fading super fast...am I still your one-of-a-kind gem?
I muster up inner glee...
Discovering the truth behind lies - they don't last forever and it's a fire that evaporates when water drowns them
Mesmerized by the words that slip from your lips...I breathed your words...I breathed your words that I couldn't help but prize
Then, I noticed that they are just temporary
Reality burns once it touches the skin...I kept waiting for your message to uplift my low spirits - am I your sweet sunrise? Wow, how time flies . . . Flies . . .
Somewhere in the ground
Somewhere in the ground
Is where I'll eventually land
Somehow, I've been captivity-bound
Unable to make out any sound
My fear is as countless as sand
I wish you would understand
I wish you would care enough to make a stand
Because I'm building up courage to accept the truth in goodbyes -
In the end, it's reduced to lies
I can force myself to smile during tribulations of the deep,
But rejection leaves me to weep...weeds are what I reap!!
Now, I'm somewhere in the ground
Rooted to the spot...
Now, I'm spinning around and around
Save me before I rot...
I need confidence to repair these scars
I need to stop placing myself in high bars
You got me through some guilt-trips and I'm grateful for your support always
I break so easily like cheap plastic...sorry that I'm not your golden nugget
I wish you'd stop speaking your mind to the max and live life without regret
The heart needs a break,
So I'll be lying somewhere in the ground
The mind is half awake
Listening to nonsense all day and night...I wish I could leave time to spin you 'round and 'round
I got you...I got you...
I found you out of the blue
I crave you...I crave you...
Remember me, shining anew?
You illuminate me when I am face down on the cement of disheartening woe
If we can fly side by side, my soul would entangle with your own...the sun begins to show
I was lost in the middle of nowhere until I met you in the twinkling of an eye
In my quiet company, I was shivering from the cold of loneliness until I ran into you...you melted away my state of sorrow and I know why
