Wish that I didn't have to see
A confidant as an enemy
I count the lies and the lines you
Cross helplessly I can only watch
Dodgin' words as they ricochet
Honesty that'll never pay
Your convictions I believe
Like an apparition haunting me
The Now truth is a ball and chain
Holdin' my conscious to the flame
Covered up but still I know
Secret The of a life you're guilty of
Smoking The gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Oooh  I'm buried under
Tryin' to tread through sinkin' sand
In your wake you know I can't stand
What I thought was meant to be
Is a broken heart weighin' down on me
The truth is a ball
And chain holdin'
My conscious to the flame
Covered up but still i know
The secret of a life you're guilty of
The smoking gun is
What I found The dirt
I have on you is the ground Oooh
Buried I'm under Yeah
I'm buried under Oh
I'm buried under
Can you fall for the wings of a dove
When the clever wolf is
The one you love
Now the truth is a ball and chain
Holdin' my conscious to the flame
Covered up but still i know
The secret of a life you're guilty of
The smoking gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Oooh   I'm buried under
Wish that I didn't have to see
A confidant as an enemy
