Keep It Buried
SandMarx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All your actions have taken me back
To when you were just a stranger
Only now I know you and that this can't get better
It's not like everything you touch turn into gold
(That's not the way your story goes)
Still you wanna be the king of it all
The nerve you got coming here and makin' me feel so small
You're in love, while I will shove
Aside all the negativity that you carried
This is goodbye, but I will try
Tombing my anger and keep it buried
Tell me in ten years if it was time well wasted
Was it worth killing your spirit
And act as if we never existed
Was it worth wasting your energy
It's not like everything you touch turn into gold
(That's not the way your story goes)
Still you wanna be the king of it all
(I know that's what you're dreaming of)
The nerve you go coming here and makin' me feel so small
You're in love, while I will shove
Aside all the negativity that you carried
This is goodbye, but I will try
Tombing my anger and keep it buried
It's five past eight, you can't be late
Free my shoulders from your weight
You bring me down, you kick me to the ground
And destroy the steps that I have climbed
It's not like everything you touch turn into gold
(That's not the way your story goes)
Still you wanna be the king of it all
(I know that's what you're dreaming of)
The nerve you go coming here and makin' me feel so small
You're in love, while I will shove
Aside all the negativity that you carried
This is goodbye, but I'll survive
I'll tomb my anger and keep it buried
Oh, oh keep it buried

I liked this when I heard the live version, but It's even cooler here; now that I can hear all the little nuances of the guitar work and the clearer vocals.
