Quercus Alba

Surrounded by seclusion, solitude it stands alone Its strength is overwhelming, And its roots have fully grown Beneath the surface a tunnel and its begging me to dig To find a point of resolution or a hallway to escape Hallway to escape My breath is taken by the thought of letting go My heart is racing as the pace begins to grow I have a vision of a sparrow in a tree Its begging me to dig The earth is hard and there are stones beneath my feet I dig for hours as my hands begin to bleed My only partner is a light that starts to fade Stay until I'm saved I'm saved I break the surface and see the sun I find a path ahead, I begin to run My legs are breaking, my lungs don't breathe My voice sings with a melody I do not need Don't live among the broken in a village of this world Why did you build this tunnel, why did you have to run? You run, you run, you run The earth is hard and there are stones beneath my feet I dig for hours as my hands begin to bleed My only partner is a light that starts to fade Stay until I'm saved I'm saved
