[Verse] Hands in the earth broken roots Claw through the grime what’s the truth Dust in my nails grit in my soul Dirt calls me back keeps me whole [Chorus] Sticks snap like bones echo loud Dirt whispers secrets under a shroud Skin stained with soil veins run thick Heart beats heavy with dirt and sticks [Verse 2] Cold wind sings through hollowed trees Shapes in the dark no peace no ease Scraping under nails peeling life Bound by the dirt carved by strife [Bridge] Machine hums static pulse slow Beats rise like thunder shadows grow Man and earth bound by invisible ropes Dirt and sticks grinding down hopes [Chorus] Sticks snap like bones echo loud Dirt whispers secrets under a shroud Skin stained with soil veins run thick Heart beats heavy with dirt and sticks [Verse 3] Eyes to the dirt head hung low World above churns but I can’t let go Rust creeping in on a junkyard breeze Dirt and sticks bring me to my knees [Outro] and sticks and sticks and sticks and sticks bring me to my knees and sticks and sticks and sticks bring me to my knees and sticks and sticks
