Lyrics

Yeah
There's a neon "L" on Main Street hangin' by a thread
Paint's been peeled off the sign like the lies I left unsaid
I keep the light on at night 'cause empty shops don't sleep
Another box on every shelf holds a secret that I can't keep
Now the mortgage man says I'm broke
The banker's got my name
Now the land's worth more than all the gold
But the dirt below whispers her name
I built my whole world on top of her
Can't ever get back to the way we were
Raised the roof to hide a history
Turned my life into a world of hurt
Now the land's worth more than God or sin
But I can't sell what she's buried in
The truth runs deeper than timber and dirt
I built my world on top of her
I built my world on top of her
The house that danced in the kitchen
Like a coffee cup collapsed on some
Now there's flour on the counter and a bell that sounds off
People push their carts, they never see the ground I keep
They count the hours and count the days, I count the nights I weep
Realtors come with groceries, but I'll bother them all
They measure up the profit lines, they never hear the call
I built my world on top of her
I built my whole world on top of her
The secrets I've taken all I've earned
Put a roof above what couldn't get through
Now I'm chained to this piece of dirt
The price keeps climbing, fortune's near
But the grave below still keeps me here
No deed can hide what's in the earth
I built my whole world on top of her
I still see her ghost here every night
Shadows turn to ashes with the break of light
Every loan I take, every note I sign in blood
Is another promise that I stayed in the mud
I built my whole world on top of her
Can't ever escape from the way things were
The walls can't hide what the nights unearthed
When the fortune comes for a murderer
Now the land's worth more than the pain I serve
These hands can't hide what they did to her
The ground won't give, it just holds the hurt
I built my whole world on top of her
I built my whole world on top of her
On top of her
Whole world on top of her
