Head Above The Dirt

Verse 1
I’ve been crawling through the wreckage of the days you tried to break,
Every promise turned to poison, every smile was a fake.
You stacked the world against me just to watch me choke,
But pressure makes a diamond or a bomb about to smoke.

Pre‑Chorus
You thought I’d sink, you thought I’d fold,
But I don’t die — I just get bold.

Chorus
I keep my head above the dirt,
Through every lie, through every hurt.
You tried to bury me alive,
But I clawed back up — I still survive.
Head above the dirt, I rise,
With mud‑stained hands and open eyes.
You wanted me gone, but it didn’t work —
I’m still here with my head above the dirt.

Verse 2
You whispered doubts like curses, tried to rot me from within,
But I learned to turn your venom into armor on my skin.
You built a shallow grave and thought I’d settle in the ground,
But I kicked right through the coffin just to hear the cracking sound.

Pre‑Chorus
You thought I’d sink, you thought I’d fold,
But I don’t die — I just get bold.

Chorus
I keep my head above the dirt,
Through every lie, through every hurt.
You tried to bury me alive,
But I clawed back up — I still survive.
Head above the dirt, I rise,
With mud‑stained hands and open eyes.
You wanted me gone, but it didn’t work —
I’m still here with my head above the dirt.

Bridge
I breathe the dust, I taste the fight,
I drag myself back into light.
You wrote my ending in the sand,
But storms erase what cowards plan.

Final Chorus
I keep my head above the dirt,
Through every scar, through every hurt.
You tried to bury me in doubt,
But I climbed up screaming, “Dig me out.”
Head above the dirt, I stand,
A stubborn ghost you can’t command.
You wanted me gone, but it didn’t work —
I’m still here with my head above the dirt.
