Bury Me Six Feet Under

(Style: Hip hop with dark pop and art pop texture, hip-hop swing over brushed drums and deep bass; verse rides a lo-fi folk indie rock bed with fingerpicked guitar and sparse keys, pre-chorus tightens with stacked breaths and filtered handclaps, chorus opens with wide harmonies and a half-time lift. Breathy male vocals, intimate doubles in verses, pitched ad-libs and delay throws on the hook word, vinyl crackle into the first verse, reversed swell before the chorus, sub drops on the last word of each hook. Warm gritty uplift, close-mic and cinematic, indie rock, pop, lo-fi, hip hop, folk, swing, deep, breathy, art pop, warm, hip-hop, male vocals)

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

Kick the boards

Off my chest

Tell my ghosts

They can rest

If I hide

Break the lock

If I sink

Make me stop

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)

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

Kick the boards

Off my chest

Tell my ghosts

They can rest

If I hide

Break the lock

If I sink

Make me stop

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)

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

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
