[Verse 1]
(Big ground) Swallow me up, I'm so done
But you can't stop now what's already begun
(Big ground) Swallow me up, I insist
Can't go back, it is what it is
[Chorus]
There is no softer bedspread
Than the ground beneath me
So if I choose to lay here
Do not attempt to wake me
Just as I fall to slumber
You think you've got my number
I'll disappear right under
The concrete, bricks and mortar
[Verse 2]
(Big ground) Swallow me up, I'm so done
Tried my best now I settle for none
(Big ground) Swallow me up if you will
Feel my skin run warm and my mind go still
[Chorus]
There is no better doctor
Than the ground beneath me
So if I choose to lay here
Do not resuscitate me
Just as I fall to slumber
You think you've got my number
I'II disappear right under
The concrete, bricks and mortar
(Big ground) There is no softer bedspread
Than the ground beneath me
So if I choose to lay here
Do not attempt to wake me
(Big ground) Just as I fall to slumber
You think you've got my number
I'II disappear right under
The concrete, bricks and mortar
