how to be buried alive (for dummies)
[Verse]
Thought about you with your hand in my mouth
Saying, "This time, promise don't get loud"
Like if I love you with no sound
There's nothing to take back when you're kicking me out
[Verse]
Thought about you with your hand in my pants
Getting off to the path of promised life
With a dog, two kids, and wife
Am I killing them all in your mind?
[Chorus]
But I know better than you, better than you
How to move when it's crushing on my lungs
Better than you, better than you
What to do when you wanna give it up
When I think I've had enough
From the bottom up I've found
That baby, there are more ways than one
To settle under thе ground
[Verse]
You thought about me as the man on the screen
Indiana's nеighbors broke his legs
And left him in a ditch
His body was found by his husband and kids
[Verse]
Thought about burning your clothes in a fire that summer
Cause "You can't clean me off"
Meant "You aren't clean at all"
To you in your head by the fall
[Chorus]
But I know better than you, better than you
How to move when it's getting in my lungs
Better than you, better than you
What to do when I wanna end it all
You said, "I'm done, I've had enough
And they could kill us if we're found"
Well, baby, there are more ways than one
To settle under the ground
