lyrics

Under the Floor
Verse 1
Well I can’t stand the way you look at me
Cause every day it cuts me more and more
I’m terrified to speak for what it’ll mean
I wish you’d bury me under the floor

Chorus
I’m getting closer now
To boiling my skin
This house is getting cold
But I still can’t let you in

Verse 2
Sometimes I think it’s going ok
And you’re the furthest thing from my mind
But late at night you pull me in
And I hope you’ll make it this time

Bridge
Maybe I just want something new
But even then I feel like there’s a bit more I could do
Well nothing changes anymore
We’re all just bloodied bodies, broken under the floor

Well here I am
Our faces caving in
I guess it hurts
But we’ll bear our sins
Who knows who we’ll be
Won’t you forgive me?
I don’t know what to do
But I can’t help holding on to you

Last chorus
I’m getting closer now
To ripping off my skin
I’m getting colder still
I think I might stay in
