Underworld Lyrics

Here we start the dance moving through the darkest mind

There is darkness deep within that I have yet to find

If you frighten easily, this is where you're warned

You will find a battered heart that's dangling and torn

The harm was from myself but it scars the very same

In this state of work you will find no trace of blame

Casualties of faults, I'm guilty for my crimes

What's even more despicable is my internal grime

When you want to kill another, that results in murder

But wait just hear me out and let me take it one step further

Judges have exceptions when you want to take a life

If you're the one who's bleeding and your hand is on the knife

They'll lock you in a room and have you leave with a prescription

Then tell you therapy will help you deal with your infliction

This is what society tries desperately to hide

That murder is still murder even if it's suicide

Every single time that I lay my head to rest

I ask for my mind to not put me to the test

I pray to gods i don't believe in asking them for sleep

For a quiet mind, I'd sell everything for cheap

Underworld a metaphor for what's between my ears

Putting it on paper is confronting every fear

There's so many dimensions to what lies behind my frown

There is no looking up from here, I'm keeping my head down

We're going down in the depths, depths of my soul

Where the destination is driving away from goals

Every step you take is a step on heated coals

Don't drive on the pavement if you cannot pay the tolls

We're going down in the depths, depths of my mind

Where there's not that many things that can be seen as kind

Secrets trapped in cages start to unlock and unwind

Some are foggy pathways that have yet to be defined

The dance is picking up and the room begins to sway

I'm starting to feel dizzy and my nose fills with decay

Lying dead beneath are all my mistakes and regrets

On my face is colored paints and a thin layer of sweat

I'm petrified of everything, each movement makes me jump

In my mind's a basement full of little creaks and bumps

I used to wear my confidence and held my head up high

But now I watch my paces so I don't see eye to eye

All echoes of the laughs I had are now just quiet thoughts

Avoiding people constantly, they can't handle this plot

There's just one way to silence them, I'm not quite ready yet

Contemplating back and forth, for now no need to fret

Death fascinates and startles me, universe of unknown

It calls out for me everyday, the presence only grows

Everyone is moving on while I'm stuck in the middle

Crafting pain to metaphors to twisted little riddles

Every single time that I lay my head to rest

I ask for my mind to not put me to the test

I pray to gods i don't believe in asking them for sleep

For a quiet mind, I'd sell everything for cheap

Underworld a metaphor for what's between my ears

Putting it on paper is confronting every fear

There's so many dimensions to what lies behind my frown

There is no looking up from here, I'm keeping my head down

We're going down in the depths, depths of my soul

Where the destination is driving away from goals

Every step you take is a step on heated coals

Don't drive on the pavement if you cannot pay the tolls

We're going down in the depths, depths of my mind

Where there's not that many things that can be seen as kind

Secrets trapped in cages start to unlock and unwind

Some are foggy pathways that have yet to be defined

We're going down in the depths, depths of my soul

Where the destination is driving away from goals

Every step you take is a step on heated coals

Don't drive on the pavement if you cannot pay the tolls

We're going down in the depths, depths of my mind

Where there's not that many things that can be seen as kind

Secrets trapped in cages start to unlock and unwind

Some are foggy pathways that have yet to be defined

Shut your mouth and listen, don't ask questions at this time

You won't like what you see, viewer discretion is advised

You can leave with answers but there's always mysteries

I cannot tell you everything, but lots will come from me

No one ever says it all, there's still some tucked away

Secrets have their way of spilling any given day

You're driving into territories, no one hears your yells

You're reading my truth, welcome to my tales from hell
