Verse 1

Sweep it quiet, out of sight

Hide the pain beneath the light

Smile stitched on with rusted thread

Pretend it’s gone, pretend it’s dead

Verse 2

Stack the silence, brick by brick

Cover up what makes you sick

Paint the cracks with empty laughs

But the truth don’t drown in shallow masks

Pre-Chorus

You think you’re safe in the calm you fake

But the storm remembers every ache

Chorus

It won’t stay buried, won’t stay still

The dust you hide begins to fill

It claws, it howls, it starts to tug

You can’t escape what’s under the rug

Face it now, or be undone

’Cause what you run from always comes

Verse 3

Whispers grow into a scream

Rotten roots infect the dream

You say it’s fine, you say “I’m good”

But your hands betray what words never could

Verse 4

Every lie you fold so neat

Finds a pulse beneath your feet

Tiptoe over buried screams

’Til they rise and split the seams

Pre-Chorus

You build your walls from brittle fear

But time will burn what you engineer

Chorus

It won’t stay buried, won’t stay still

The dust you hide begins to fill

It claws, it howls, it starts to tug

You can’t escape what’s under the rug

Face it now, or be undone

’Cause what you run from always comes

Bridge

It waits. It watches.

It grows in the hush.

A scream in the silence,

A break in the hush.

Final Chorus

It won’t stay buried, won’t stay still

The dust you hide begins to fill

It claws, it howls, it starts to tug

You can’t escape what’s under the rug

Face it now. Face it now.

Before it breaks you down.
