Quercus Alba by To Speak Of Wolves Lyrics

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 safe
I'm safe

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 is it that you run?
You run, you run, you run

The earth is hard and there are stones beneath my feet (my feet)
I dig for hours as my hands begin to bleed (begin to bleed)
My only partner is a light that starts to fade
Stay until I'm safe

The earth is hard and there are stones beneath my feet (my feet)
I dig for hours as my hands begin to bleed (begin to bleed)
My only partner is a light that starts to fade
Stay until I'm safe

I'm safe
