Life Underground from Still Life by Charlie Pink

Dream from under the ground
With your head in the clouds
Dream of a ridiculous man
Hiding far from the clouds

Have you crawled out from under a mound
Been misplaced in the lost and the found
Your throat rattles, it claws
Of one who lives under floors

And you’ll live without sound
In the gaps that you found
But you’ll stay where you’re bound
In your life underground
Your life underground

You understand hate as a curse
And know that you’ll come off the worst
When the discourse just doesn’t seem right
When you’re trying to put up a fight

And you’ll grow to believe
With your heart up your sleeve
But you’ll stay where you’re bound
In your life underground
Your life underground
Where you can just be yourself
Where you can just be yourself around you
Where you can just please yourself
And you can just please yourself

You’ll be there in the background
Soaking up shadows
Swallowing dark
And de-tuning pianos
Defrosting the daylight
That creeps through your window
With cellophane curtains
That shuts out the dayglow
You’ll be there
You’ll be there
I know you’ll be there

Like a secret that’s buried in waves
That no one wants to take to their graves
Cos the one’s who don’t trust their disguise
Are the ones who are burying lies
And the ones who don’t like to resolve
Are the one’s who keep secrets unsolved

And you want to speak out
But you can’t make a sound
There’s no comfort, nothing’s found
In your life underground
Your life underground
Where you can just be yourself
Where you can just be yourself around you
Where you can just please yourself
And you can just please yourself
If you can, find a way
And f you can, find a way
And if you can, find a way
To bottle this bootlace heart
And find your resolve
