Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish that I didn't have to see
A confidant as an enemy
Counting lies and the lines you crossed
Helplessly, I can only watch
[Verse 2]
Dodging words as they ricochet
Honesty, that'll never pay
Your convictions, I believe
Like an apparition haunting me
[Verse 3]
Now the truth is a ball and chain
Holding my conscience to the flame
Covered up, but still I know
The secret of the life your guilty of
The smoking gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Ooh, I'm buried under
[Verse 4]
Trying to tread through sinking sand
In your wake, you know I can't stand
What I thought was meant to be
Is a broken heart weighing down on me
[Verse 5]
Truth is a ball and chain
Holding my conscience to the flame
Covered up, but still I know
The secret of the life your guilty of
The smoking gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Oh, I'm buried under
Yeah, I'm buried under
Oh, I'm buried under
[Verse 6]
Can you fall for the wings of a dove?
When the clever wolf is the one you love?
[Verse 7]
Now the truth is a ball and chain
Holding my conscience to the flame
Covered up, but still I know
The secret of the life your guilty of
The smoking gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Ooh, I'm buried under
[Verse 8]
Wish that I didn't have to see
A confidant as an enemy
