Stomping The Dirt Down

Verse 1

Rotten wood

Deep within the humid thicket where the snakes coil tight

Sunlight bleeds through hanging moss

Vultures circling low

Pre-Chorus

My pulse starts thudding

My nerves are jumping

My world is fading

Chorus

Stomping the dirt down

Deep in the black creek mud

Stomping the dirt down

Sweat and the stinging iron

Stomping the dirt down

Verse 2

Rusted blade

Cuts across the cooling skin of a phantom hand

Bury what you cannot fix

Silence tastes like sulfur

Pre-Chorus

My pulse starts thudding

My nerves are jumping

My world is fading

Chorus

Stomping the dirt down

Deep in the black creek mud

Stomping the dirt down

Sweat and the stinging iron

Stomping the dirt down

Bridge

Underneath the cypress

Beneath the red clay

Below the sinking bone

Nothing stays hidden

Nothing stays buried

Nothing stays quiet

Breakdown

Grind the teeth

Push the shovel deeper

Shatter every shadow

Break

Forget the name

Erase the face

Chorus

Stomping the dirt down

Deep in the black creek mud

Stomping the dirt down

Sweat and the stinging iron

Stomping the dirt down

Hook

Cover it

Smother it

Final hit
