Six Feet Under

Everythings the same

I just can’t ignore

These feelings of shame

Knocking at my door

And my love fails

Where ever yours starts

And i will try to fix the sails

And sail away on this broken heart

 

If everyones keeps asking

It’s going to drive me insane

If all of your love keeps dancing

Around my heart again

I won’t love you the same

 

I could give you it all

And everything you would never need

I could give you it all

And fufill your every greed

But my heart will never be found

I hid it from you

Six feet under ground

 

But everyone dies

Theres no reason not to live

All i want to do is live my life

But your love will never give

And nothing can redeem

The love you broke and beat

 

I could give you it all

And everything you would never need

I could give you it all

And fufill your every greed

But my heart will never be found

I hid it from you

Six feet under ground

 

And everything feels different

Like a spider remaking a web

It’s all the same

But inside it tears you apart

And i can not compete

Trying to win your heart

And everyones the same

No matter their walk of life

If a man is killed you should take the blaim

And dream his angle takes flight
