Lyrics
[PROMPT: 90s grunge, medium-heavy tempo, dirty distorted guitars, massive warm bass, gritty male vocals, Southern-rock guitar flavor, haunting harmonies, loud/quiet dynamics, bluesy bends, feedback, explosive half-time breakdown, extended Southern guitar solos. Defiant, dark, sarcastic mood.]
[INTRO – bass alone, amp hum, guitar feedback]
Heh…
Keep digging.
I like the view from down there.
[VERSE 1 – restrained, dirty guitar]
They planted thorns beneath my feet,
Then waited for the blood.
Built little churches out of doubt,
And prayed I’d stay in mud.
I heard them laughing through the walls,
Counting every crack—
Funny how the hands that pushed
Still wave when you come back.
[PRE-CHORUS – bass grows heavier]
So paint my name across the stone,
Save a seat beside the flame—
Every time you bet against me,
I forget to play your game.
[CHORUS – HUGE guitars / vocal harmonies]
I GRIN WHEN THE CEILING FALLS!
Laugh while the vultures call!
Throw your dirt—
I’ll grow something crooked through it all.
Yeah, I’ve kissed the floor before,
Know exactly what it’s for—
You keep wishing me the worst…
I’ll keep laughing at the door.
[SOUTHERN GUITAR SOLO – bluesy bends, dual-guitar harmony, heavy bass underneath]
[VERSE 2 – darker / half-time]
Failure wears a familiar coat,
I’ve bought that bastard drinks.
We sit together after dark
And talk about what sinks.
He says, “Boy, you’re finished now.”
I smile and strike a match—
Some bridges look much prettier
When nobody wants them back.
[PRE-CHORUS – building]
The wolves keep showing all their teeth,
Like I should fear the bite—
But I’ve slept inside the belly
And still crawled toward the light.
[CHORUS – heavier]
I GRIN WHEN THE CEILING FALLS!
Laugh while the vultures call!
Throw your dirt—
I’ll grow something crooked through it all.
Let the bad luck know my name,
Let it drag me through the rain—
Every scar becomes a punchline
When you learn to love the pain.
[BREAKDOWN – crushing half-time / bass forward]
Wish me dead.
Wish me broke.
Feed the fire.
Feed the joke.
[VOCAL WHISPER]
You wanted tears?
[FULL BAND SLAMS IN]
HAHAHA—
I learned to smile with bloody teeth,
Dance beneath a hanging sky.
If the grave wants something from me—
Tell that hole to get in line.
[EXTENDED SOUTHERN GUITAR SOLO – dirty slide accents, screaming bends, twin-guitar harmonies, bass walking underneath]
[FINAL CHORUS – raw screamed vocals + backing harmonies]
I GRIN WHEN THE CEILING FALLS!
Still standing through it all!
Every curse you threw became
Another brick inside my wall.
So raise your glass to my collapse,
Wait around and watch it fail—
I’ll be somewhere in the distance…
Laughing louder than your nails.
[OUTRO – bass + fading guitar feedback]
Keep digging…
Keep wishing…
Maybe someday
you’ll bury something.
[quiet laugh]
Heh…
