Nothing Underneath is a slow-burning, politically charged track that layers institutional betrayal over a foundation of quiet tension. Through repeating imagery of cracked walls, shifting floors, and empty promises, the song traces the experience of those left behind by the systems they trusted — soldiers, workers, ordinary people who gave their years. It's restrained and devastating, the kind of song that doesn't shout but leaves a mark.

Lyrics
Water in the glass. Nobody moved. Water in the glass. Something moved. Nothing underneath. They said stand firm. Stand firm. Stand firm. Nothing underneath. Nothing underneath. New face. Same chair. Who put The crack there. They point left. They point right. Dust comes down. All night. New face. Same chair. Nobody saw. Nobody there. They gave their word. We gave our years. They changed the locks. We're still here. Nothing underneath. Nothing underneath. They sell the floor. We lose our feet. Hold still. Don't lean. Whole house shifts. Their hands stay clean. Nothing underneath. Nothing underneath. They gave their word. We gave our years. Stand firm. Stand firm. Nothing underneath. Word. Word. What word. Boots by the door. Afghan sand. Folded orders. Steady hand. Strap rubbed raw. Jaw held tight. Kept my watch. Through their night. New face. Same chair. Who sent us. Who cares. They gave their word. We gave our years. They changed the locks. We're still here. Nothing underneath. Nothing underneath. They sell the floor. We lose our feet. Hold still. Don't lean. Whole house shifts. Their hands stay clean. Nothing underneath. Nothing underneath. They gave their word. We gave our years. New face. Same chair. New face. Same chair. Palm against the wall. Could put it through. Someone on the other side. Just paying rent too. Hand comes down. Crack stays there. Upstairs. They change chairs. Nothing underneath. Nothing underneath. They sell the floor. We lose our feet. Hold still. Don't lean. Whole house shifts. Their hands stay clean. Nothing underneath. Nothing underneath. They gave their word. We gave our years. Water in the glass. Nobody moved. Upstairs. Another chair. Water in the glass. Nothing underneath.
