The Dirt I'm Buried In

  • Once upon a highway
    Lost among the lights of neon tribes (tribes, tribes, tribes)
    I used to be a part of you
    You used me and I used you too
    You took me to the desert
    Desecrated, desperate prey, oh yeah

    You took me to the desert

    I smoke the blackened tissue
    High inside the church of the neon lights (lights, lights, lights)
    I grease my limbs and enter you
    The engine roars as engines do
    The pressure we are under
    Unmarked grave, the undead reign, oh yeah

    The stars align
    Behind my eyes
    I'm going blind

    I look up to the sky
    But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
    Lonely lays the longing
    I'm so far away from the world that buried me

    An unknown destination
    Tied up in the trunk of a stolen ride (ride, ride, ride)
    I've never seen a sky so red
    Just one more try before we're dead
    The ashes in our nostrils
    Ask for nothing, act like you're ok

    The stars align
    Behind my eyes
    I'm going blind

    I look up to the sky
    But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
    Lonely lays the longing
    I'm so far away from the world that buried me
    I look up to the sky
    But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
    Lonely lays the longing
    I'm so far away from the world that buried me

    (A crushing wave)
    (Upon the rocks)
    (A shallow grave)
    (On the coast)
    (I'll wait)

    I look up to the sky
    But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
    Lonely lays the longing
    I'm so far away from the world that buried me
    I look up to the sky
    But all I see is the dirt I'm buried in
    Lonely lays the longing
    I'm so far away from the world that buried me Writer/s: Henrik Sandelin, Johannes Eckerstrom, John Alfredsson, Jonas Jarlsby, Tim Ohrstrom
