Lyrics

Sweep it up, tuck it in, don’t let the cracks show,
Hide it all under the rug, nobody will know.
Glossy smiles, shaking hands, in a nice disguise,
But the walls are talking telling no lies.

Dust collects in the corners unseen,
The weight of the secrets keeps the floorboards lean.

Under the rug, where the dirt piles high,
Out of sight, out of mind, let the guilty lie.
Under the rug, where the shame takes root,
Can’t sweep away what’s absolute.

The carpet’s heavy, and it’s starting to sag,
A monument of sins marked by its drag.
Eyes wide shut, they keep playing the game,
But the stench of corruption is calling their name.

Cracks in the floor let the truth shine through,
No amount of polish can hide the view.

Under the rug, where the dirt piles high,
Out of sight, out of mind, let the guilty lie.
Under the rug, where the shame takes root,
Can’t sweep away what’s absolute.

Footsteps falter, the foundation’s weak,
The rug starts to lift, and the shadows speak.
Voices rising, you can’t drown the sound,
What’s buried will surface, it’ll break the ground.

Under the rug, where the dirt piles high,
Out of sight, out of mind, let the guilty lie.
Under the rug, the truth’s breaking loose,
No escape now, there’s no excuse.


Sweep it up, tuck it in, but the cracks still show,
No hiding forever; someday, we’ll know
