What an anemic charade, a soulless display
We force upon ourselves and all of the world
Needless to say, this sterile cliche
Has left me with another shovel down in a hole
I'm digging in vain, I'm digging in vain
But when it boils down to a distraction nothing compares
All I wanted was a haven away
But I've traded neuroticism in for despair
Tunneling further down
Descending
And just in case there's any doubt, I'll say it now...
f*ck the world, I'm headed underground
Don't you wait, 'cause I'm already headed south (and I said)
Oh whoa, I'm headed underground
Don't mind me, I'll just be making my way down
I'm living miles away from the sordid parade
A welcome sanctuary under the world
Suffice it to say, the cynic in me
Has left me with a shovel down in this hole
Digging in vain, I'm digging in vain
But when it boils down to a distraction, nothing compares
All I wanted was a haven away
But I've traded neuroticism in for despair
Tunneling further down
Descending
And just in case there's any doubt, I'll say it now...
f*ck the world, I'm headed underground
Don't you wait, 'cause I'm already headed south (and I said)
Oh whoa, I'm headed underground
Don't mind me, I'll just be making my way down
