Lyrics Buried Under

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

Dodging words as they 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've found
The dirt I have on you is aground
Ooh I'm buried under

Trying to tread through sinking sand
In your wake you know I can't stand
What I thought was meant to be
Is a broken heart weighing down on me

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've found
The dirt I have on you is aground
Ooh 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've found
The dirt I have on you is aground
Ooh I'm buried under

Wish that I didn't have to see
A confidante as an enemy
