Underneath

[Intro] Under the black and inside the blue A bone thick spell has washed away It took some time but I realized The obstacle's the only way Under the black and inside the blue A bone thick spell has washed away It took some time but I realized The obstacle's the only way [Verse 1] (The guinea pigs of a generation) An experiment to be improved on (A story for them all to tell) A history of forced intrusion They pricked me but I didn't bleed They singed me just to test the smell They cut me but I didn't feel I was just too deep in to fail [Chorus] You think you know what you want Until you're inside the nest You got it all figured out Until you're drowning in it You think you know who you are Until you're under duress You got it all figured out Until you're under the skin [Verse 2] (The guinea pigs of a generation) Now I'm in the lion's den (A story for them all to tell) Now I am at the precipice I'm the one who has to end this I'm the one that has to win Bred to self-induced entrapment I'm the one who lacked the discipline [Chorus] You think you know what you want Until you're inside the nest You got it all figured out Until you're drowning in it You think you know who you are Until you're under duress You got it all figured out Until you're under the skin You think you know what you want Until you're inside the nest You got it all figured out Until you're drowning in it You think you know who you are Until you're under duress You got it all figured out Until you're under the skin [Bridge] Underneath retread aesthetic Underneath your fake respect Underneath the sales and figures Will you quit when they don't react? Underneath the costume changes Underneath the acceptance Underneath the online presence Underneath the influence [Refrain] (Underneath duress, under the skin) (Underneath duress, under the skin) (Underneath duress, under the skin) (Underneath duress, under the skin) Under the wave you've been waiting for (Underneath duress, under the skin) (Underneath duress, under the skin) There's a truth (Underneath duress, under the skin) You got it all figured out Until you're drowning (Underneath duress, un-) [Chorus] You think you know what you want Until you're inside the nest You got it all figured out Until you're drowning in it You think you know who you are Until you're under duress You got it all figured out Until you're under the skin You think you know what you want (Underneath retread aesthetic) Until you're inside the nest (Underneath your fake respect) You got it all figured out (Underneath the sales and figures) Until you're drowning in it (Will you quit when they don't react?) You think you know who you are (Underneath the virtue signal) Until you're under duress (Underneath the thinnest skin) You got it all figured out (Underneath the collective conscience) Until you're under the skin (Underneath the consequence) [Refrain] Under the wave you've been waiting for There's a truth You got it all figured out Until you're drowning in it Under the wave you've been waiting for There's a truth You got it all figured out Until you're drowning in it
