Underneath Lyrics

GHEEÁ - underneath

Underneath roots
Embraced by the soil
Facing the underground water
Breathing through mould
Gazing for years
Into the black
That was never so near
Under the trees

Down in the grove
They're all looking up
To see what happens above
Craning their necks
'til evolution reacts
We've had it, anyway
We did try our best

Didn't we deserve some more?
Didn't we deserve some back door?

Peel off the bark
And wrap it anew
Just needed some certainty
Submissive to habit
Slave to curiosity,
To everything but yourself
Whore to your wish
Partaking in you
Force me to be spiritless
Probably it's only
Self-pity which makes me
Imagine this nothingness

Isn't this what lies beneath?
Is not this what's fact, in brief?
