Buried Under Lyrics

I wish that I didn't have to see

A confidante as an enemy

Counting lies and the lines you cross

Helplessly, I can only watch

Imagine words as a ricochet

Honesty that'll never pay

Your convictions I believe

Like an apparition haunting me

Now, the truth is a ball and chain

Holding my conscience to the flame

Covered up, but still, I know

The secret of a life you're guilty of

The smoking gun is what I found

The dirt I have on you is the ground

Ooh, I'm buried under

I'm trying to tread through sinkin' sand

In your way, you know I can't stand

What I thought was meant to be

Is a broken heart weighing down on me

Now, the truth is a ball and chain

Holding my conscience to the flame

Covered up, but still, I know

The secret of a life you're guilty of

The smoking gun is what I found

The dirt I have on you is the ground

Oh, I'm buried under

Yeah, I'm buried under

Oh, I'm buried under

Can you fall for the wings of a dove

When the clever wolf is the one you love

Now, the truth is a ball and chain

Holding my conscience to the flame

Covered up, but still, I know

The secret of a life you're guilty of

The smoking gun is what I found

The dirt I have on you is the ground

Ooh, I'm buried under

I wish that I didn't have to see

A confidante as an enemy
