Lyrics
━━━━━━━━━━━━T H E B E L L U N D E R T H E F L O O R B O A R D S━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I wanted this one to feel like a haunted room exposing the truth. The Bell Under The Floorboards is about saying you are fine when something underneath you knows you are lying. The bell became the emotional centre of the track, hidden under the wood, ringing through the silence, and slowly turning the whole room into part of the song. I wanted the song to feel like a haunted room slowly waking up. The bell became the main character, almost like a lie detector under the floor, ringing every time the emotion gets denied.

Every added stem had to support the story, not just fill space. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I said I was fine Then the house answered I sealed your room shut With my hands still shaking Told every shadow There was nothing worth saving I turned all your pictures Face down in the hall Said your name meant nothing Then I heard something fall One small ring in the dark One cold note through the wood I laughed like I was not scared Like every liar would There is a bell under the floor It rings when I say I am fine I told the ghosts I moved on And it rang three times I drew a circle round my heart But the truth walked through the line There is a bell under the floor And it knows when I lie It knows when I lie It knows when I lie One ring for your name Two rings for mine Three for the truth I buried inside Salt by the doorway Smoke above the stairs I asked the old house To keep you out of here But the flame bent sideways The walls held their breath I said I did not miss you And it woke up again Not loud like thunder Not soft like prayer Just one little warning From somewhere under there There is a bell under the floor It rings when I say I am fine I told the ghosts I moved on And it rang three times I drew a circle round my heart But the truth walked through the line There is a bell under the floor And it knows when I lie Maybe it was never haunting Maybe it was what I hid Maybe every room remembers What I swore I never did I blamed the dark I blamed the spell I blamed the house But I built the bell There is a bell under the floor It rings when I say I am fine I told the ghosts I moved on And it rang three times I drew a circle round my heart But the truth walked through the line There is a bell under the floor And it knows when I lie I said I was fine And it rang one final time ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
