Life Underground

You speak my name and shudder, but I'm still here

I built a bridge here just to burn it, just to light my faded path

So I could see what's down below me

Because how I yearn to see you laugh

Oh, how I yearn to see you laugh

So selfish were my footsteps, and so foolish are they now

But there's not much I can do here now that I'm living underground

Speak now my precious whispers, float softly through the breeze

Please float on by my loved ones and let them know that I'm still here

You speak my name and shudder, but I'm still here

I built a bridge here just to burn it, just to light my faded path

So I could see what's down below me, below me

Because how I yearn to see you laugh

Oh, how I yearn to see you laugh

So selfish were my footsteps, and so foolish are they now

But there's not much I can do here now that I'm living underground

Speak now my precious whispers, float softly through the breeze

Please float on by my loved ones and let them know that I'm still here

And we sing

Our voices carry through the hills

The whole world is standing still

We're singing for the dead, for the lost and for the stolen

Our hearts beat double time, and, oh, how they feel so broken

Oh, how they feel so broken

Is this really what I wished for

When I felt my feet drag heavy on the earth?

Is this really the answer

I sought when I was searching for self-worth?

Go now, precious whispers

Float my sorrow into the sea

Let the waves collapse above me

And wash away my fucking memory

So selfish were my footsteps, and so foolish are they now

But there's not much I can do here now that I'm living underground

Speak now my precious whispers, float softly through the breeze

Please float on by my loved ones and let them know that I'm still here

I'm still here
