lyrics

Deep in the Dirt

The sun never found me
The stars never shone
It's too cold down here
Buried in snow

You with your trowel
Leave me alone
I've been sleeping here
All winter long

Under your knees
As you sow your seeds in rows
The sun shines in my eyes
Under your weight
I breathe the stench of your hurt
And I hear your lies
Deep in the dirt

I once was you
With nowhere to turn
The key your handshake holds

Under your knees
As you free your garden of weeds
The sky shines in my face
Under your weight
I feel the ache of your hurt
And I hear your remorse
Deep in the dirt

Someday you'll wake up
Deep in the dirt
Nothing will hurt you
Deep in the hurt
Someday you'll wake up
Deep in the dirt
