Under the Floorboards

[Verse 1]

You lock the kitchen door

Say it's just habit

Laugh a little too hard

Walk away

Drag it

[Pre-Chorus]

Every answer comes out sideways

Every question hits a wall

But your hands keep shaking

Like they're trying not to talk

[Chorus]

What are you hiding under the floorboards?

What are you burying under your tongue?

Every little flinch is a warning

Every little pause loads another gun

I can hear it creaking in the quiet

Secrets pacing circles in the dark

What are you hiding under the floorboards

Between your footsteps and your heart?

[Verse 2]

You change the subject quick

Ask if I'm sleeping

You say the neighbors talk too loud

But it's your voice that's leaking

You keep your phone face down

Like it's made of dynamite

You say it's just the screen glare

But you won't turn on the light

[Pre-Chorus]

You turn questions into punchlines

Pull the curtains

Play it cool

But your pulse is in a panic

Like it's sprinting from the truth

Secrets pacing circles in the dark

What are you hiding under the floorboards

Between your footsteps and your heart?

[Bridge]

[Beat drops to bass and snaps]

You say "baby

You're imagining"

But your shadow disagrees (oh)

There’s a map in every silence

Leading straight to what you keep from me

[Chorus]

What are you hiding under the floorboards?

What are you burying under your tongue?

Every little flinch is a warning

Every little pause loads another gun

I can hear it creaking in the quiet

Secrets pacing circles in the dark

What are you hiding under the floorboards

Between your footsteps and your heart?
