Above the Dirt

(Oo-ho)(oo-ho)(hmmm) [Verse] Lost in the darkness Feeling so low (ooo-w) No light in my eyes Nowhere to go I'm drowning in sorrow Can't find a release But I'm still holding on Trying to find some peace (peeeace) [Verse 2] I put on a smile Pretend it's all okay But deep down inside I dream of a casket No more than a basket To lay my bones to rest Or sprinkle me on dirt Leave me with no more hurt (hmmm) [Chorus] I'm still here laying above the dirt Even when it's hurting (mmm) My flame still flickers, it's burning Don't let the darkness take away my worth My bones are still above the earth Rise above the dirt (Mmhmmm) Rise above the dirt [Bridge] You ask me if I'm okay? Hide my face and look away I laugh through the pain But it's hard to breathe Living this dream Well, it's not what it seems But inside The emptiness drives me insane I'm just running on fumes Pretending I don't care I smile and say Livin' the dream Whatever that may be [Chorus] I'm still here laying above the dirt Even when it's hurting (mmm) My flame still flickers, it's burning Don't let the darkness take away my worth My bones are still above the earth Rise above the dirt (Mmhmmm) Rise above the dirt [Slowdown: pretty tinker guitar] (Livin' the Dream, Whatever that may be) My bones are still above the earth Rise above the dirt [Fade]
