The Ground Gives Way

लिरिक्स

[Intro] Cold iron resting in the rain A low door breathing in the frame [Verse 1] You left your mark on the quarry stone A split red line where the roots have grown I taste the rust in the county well You built the gate, but you built it to fail [Chorus] Pull me under, I won’t come apart I keep the match and I keep the dark Beneath the weight, beneath the wheel There’s something buried that refuses to kneel [Verse 2] The old bridge shakes when the trucks roll through Your paper crown comes loose in the dew I hear the mill turn against its chain And every tooth has learned your name [Melodic Middle] You can seal the cut with stone You can claim the field as your own But the river keeps its course And the buried springs come roaring forth [Chorus] Pull me under, I won’t come apart I keep the match and I keep the dark Beneath the weight, beneath the wheel There’s something buried that refuses to kneel [Outro] No gate holds No stone stays The ground gives way The ground gives way
