Head Above The Dirt

Verse 1

I’ve been crawling through the wreckage of the days you tried to break,

Every promise turned to poison, every smile was a fake.

You stacked the world against me just to watch me choke,

But pressure makes a diamond or a bomb about to smoke.

Pre‑Chorus

You thought I’d sink, you thought I’d fold,

But I don’t die — I just get bold.

Chorus

I keep my head above the dirt,

Through every lie, through every hurt.

You tried to bury me alive,

But I clawed back up — I still survive.

Head above the dirt, I rise,

With mud‑stained hands and open eyes.

You wanted me gone, but it didn’t work —

I’m still here with my head above the dirt.

Verse 2

You whispered doubts like curses, tried to rot me from within,

But I learned to turn your venom into armor on my skin.

You built a shallow grave and thought I’d settle in the ground,

But I kicked right through the coffin just to hear the cracking sound.

Pre‑Chorus

You thought I’d sink, you thought I’d fold,

But I don’t die — I just get bold.

Chorus

I keep my head above the dirt,

Through every lie, through every hurt.

You tried to bury me alive,

But I clawed back up — I still survive.

Head above the dirt, I rise,

With mud‑stained hands and open eyes.

You wanted me gone, but it didn’t work —

I’m still here with my head above the dirt.

Bridge

I breathe the dust, I taste the fight,

I drag myself back into light.

You wrote my ending in the sand,

But storms erase what cowards plan.

Final Chorus

I keep my head above the dirt,

Through every scar, through every hurt.

You tried to bury me in doubt,

But I climbed up screaming, “Dig me out.”

Head above the dirt, I stand,

A stubborn ghost you can’t command.

You wanted me gone, but it didn’t work —

I’m still here with my head above the dirt.
