lyrics

There's a narrow tunnel
I got in somehow
When I injured an organ
One I can't live without
There's hardly any light
So I'm using my hands
For the next thousand steps
Until the darkness ends

I can smell the trapped air
And the mud from last fall
A birthplace of some river
Filled my throat with it all
The fear cut my breath shallow
But something inside me chanted
It feels like you are buried
But you are planted

Seed into soil
How deep does it fall
How strong the heartbeat
To get through it all
Wind into seed
How strong does it blow
How sturdy my two feet
When they don't fail me at all

I wish I had some source of light
I wish I had my phone
To find a way or call someone
When it's so alone
How hopeful can a faint glow be?
When it's so far ahead
The dark guide in her endless dress
And the damp air that feels too wet

Go on, go on, you brittle bone
Don't let me fall apart
Grow thick and limber underground
In a chamber of my heart
I keep moving forward
Because I heard it chanted
It feels like you are buried
But you are planted

Seed into soil
How dark does it feel
Before you come out
Push through with pure will
Rain into river
How empty is your bed
Before you are born
Before you are fed
