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
