The Truth Is in the Dirt - Karen Elson

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

Not in your gilded cage with your rusted spoon

When the ground splits open it will swallow you

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

Not in your poison tongue or your acid tears

Let the truth howl in your ears

Here she comes, it’s killing time

Flames are burning behind her eyes

Here she comes, it’s killing time

Flames are burning behind her eyes

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

Not in your claws, drawn-out scratch 'til it bleeds

Knocked down dead gets what she needs

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

Not on the blazing horse from the midnight sun

The fire will turn your bones to dust

Here she comes, it’s killing time

Flames are burning behind her eyes

Here she comes, it’s killing time

Flames are burning behind her eyes

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

The truth is in the dirt on the ground

Not in your gilded cage with your rusted spoon

When the ground splits open it will swallow you
