Underground

I keep my name

under the ground

I hear old rooms

turn back around

Every face I framed became a mirror

Every word I saved came back thinner

I hold the past like it was mine to own

Turn every memory into a throne

I talk in circles just to hear me stay

I bend the truth till it will look my way

If I go deeper will it set me free

Or just return me to the same old need I want the

world to move around my feet Underground,

I keep it all below

Hands on the wheel of a life I never let go

Underground, every memory says my name I make it all about me

and I do it again Underground My name,

my name Underground Again,

again I count the nights by what they gave to me

Leave out the parts that never served my need

A little heart can turn a room so cold

When every story has to fit my mold

Still I chase sparks from a younger skin

Like I can live there if I just look in

There was a boy in the blur of it all Small in

the chest but he stood up tall

I lost him trying to be the

sun

Bring me back Through the dust Bring me back If I must

Underground, I keep it all below Hands on the wheel of a

life I

never let go Underground,

every memory says my name I make it all about me and

I do it again Under the ground

I finally know Not every memory

has to glow
