The Underneath

Praying for a difference, settle for the same

Taking in the view while I circle down the drain

I don't need your sympathy, it only feeds the shame

Hanging by a thread as I'm swallowed in the fray

My high hopes have left me choking

Now I just smile through the pain

Blood is in the water, pulling me under

And honestly, the best of me has already drowned

Crawling to the altar, sorry, my father

The worst of me, the underneath is dragging me down

The underneath is dragging me down

The underneath is dragging me down

Penny for your poison, a dollar for the pain

Carry my confessions like flowers to a grave

Swallow these apologies, they're driving me insane

I'm begging at the altar that's burning down in flames

Blood is in the water, pulling me under

And honestly, the best of me has already drowned

Crawling to the altar, sorry, my father

The worst of me, the underneath is dragging me down

The underneath is dragging me down

The underneath is dragging me down

My eyes are slowly closing

I lie here cold and hopeless

Reach out and cut me open

Bleed me dry and leave me broken

Blood is in the water, pulling me under

And honestly, the best of me has already drowned

Crawling to the altar, sorry, my father

The worst of me, the underneath is dragging me down

The underneath is dragging me down

The underneath is dragging me down
