[Verse 1]
Got dirt in my nails
From the hole I made
One more foot
One more day
I kept digging down
Past the warning signs
Now the walls lean in
Every night
Air gets thin
When I lie like this
Every bad choice
Leaves a fingerprint
If you hear me call
Through the ground
Follow the sound
Pull me out
[Pre-Chorus]
Kick the boards
Off my chest
Tell my ghosts
They can rest
If I hide
Break the lock
If I sink
Make me stop
[Chorus]
Bury me six feet under
Bury me six feet under
I’ve been living
With the dirt inside
Bury me six feet under
Bury me six feet under
Maybe then
I’ll finally see the light
(see the light)
[Verse 2]
I built these walls
Brick by brick
Every excuse
Every trick
Now the ceiling’s low
The room gets small
Hear my heartbeat
Through it all
I keep saying
I can get out
While another shovel
Hits the ground
If I disappear
In the dark
Carry a flame
Into my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Kick the boards
Off my chest
Tell my ghosts
They can rest
If I hide
Break the lock
If I sink
Make me stop
[Chorus]
Bury me six feet under
Bury me six feet under
I’ve been living
With the dirt inside
Bury me six feet under
Bury me six feet under
Maybe then
I’ll finally see the light
(see the light)
[Bridge]
I know who dug
The empty grave
I know who taught
The fear to stay
Every road
Led back to me
Every lock
Held my key
One hard rain
One hard truth
One last breath
Breaking through
If I shake
Don’t let go
I’ve been trapped
Inside my own shadow
[Final Chorus]
Bury me six feet under
Bury me six feet under
I’ve been living
With the dirt inside
Bury me six feet under
Bury me six feet under
Maybe then
I’ll finally see the light
(see the light)
Bury me six feet under
Bury me six feet under
I can feel
The ground give way
Bury me six feet under
Bury me six feet under
Drag me back
Before I stay
