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
