Lyrics of Charlie Bishop – Under The Rug

We’ll talk about it later, you look down at your phone
It’s silent desperation, but my mind’s a quiet roar
Just turn up the TV babe, let’s not do this anymore

We sweep and sweep these quiet wars beneath our feet
It’s just gentle lies, but we’re still ticking time
Somewhere underneath
Swept so many things under the rug

Now it’s a carpet bomb
Cause you hid that grudge
One step too close
And it all lit up

And it’s all smoke
And we breathe it in
But you still say
There’s nothing wrong

Your keys don’t jingle in your coat now
You just slip right out the door
I remember when old routines were all we’d need
Now we just bite our tongue and bleed

We sweep and sweep these quiet wars beneath our feet
It’s just gentle lies, but we’re still ticking time
Somewhere underneath
Swept so many things under the rug

Now it’s a carpet bomb
Cause I hid that grudge
One step too close
And it all blew up

And it’s all smoke
And we breathe it in
But you still say there’s nothing wrong

Is this heaven
Is this hell babe
Let me take you in my arms
Is this silence
That we’re waging
Really worth all this harm

Now it’s a carpet bomb
Cause I hit that grudge
One step too close
And it all blew up

And it’s all smoke
We cough and choke
But you still say
Ain’t nothing broke
