Lyrics:

I wish that I didn't have to see
A confidant as an enemy
Countin' lies and the line you cross
Helplessly I could only watch
Dodgin' words as they ricochet
Honesty that'll never pay
Your convictions I believe
Like an apparition haunting me
Now the truth is a ball and chain
Holdin' my conscience to the flame
Covered up but still I know
The secret of the life you're guilty of
The smokin' gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Ooh, I'm buried under
Tryin' to tread through sinkin' sand
In your wake, you know I can't stand
What I thought was meant to be
Is a broken heart weighing down on me
The truth is a ball and chain
Holdin' my conscience to the flame
Covered up but still I know
The secret of the life you're guilty of
The smokin' gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Oh, I'm buried under
Yeah, I'm buried under
Oh, I'm buried under
Can you fall for the wings of a dove
When the clever wolf is the one you love?
Now the truth is a ball and chain
Holdin' my conscience to the flame
Covered up but still I know
The secret of the life you're guilty of
The smokin' gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Ooh, I'm buried under
I wish that I didn't have to see
A confidant as an enemy
