A Return to the Earth Below

[Verse 1] Broken glass and I am holding my breath Hands are trembling I thought today would be like any other But the bell jars coming down A sudden sinking and my heart is falling Right down into the ground I feel the panic inside overtaking Any resolve I thought I'd found [Chorus] On the ledge we danced, now we are falling And the walls are closing in When the darkness gathers, we are crawling And the worms are coming in [Verse 2] My thoughts are racing and my heart is shattered Like a bird caught in a cage Like the sky that fights the storm from overtaking The serene I thought I'd found It waits for me Oh, it never really left It takes hold of me And it drags me straight to Hell [Chorus] On the ledge we danced, now we are falling And the walls are closing in When the darkness gathers, we are crawling And the worms are coming in [Verse 3] In only a moment the tides have all changed Erasing the work and toil of previous days I lean into the void That I always knew would come to reclaim my light [Verse 4] I have spent my whole life running And I have tried, I have tried to flee from myself I could never, no, I could never weather the storm That was rising, rising, rising from within me It doesn't matter the time in between Darkness carved its mark in me Carved its mark in everything But I'm done, I'm done running I stand in the rain Here I stand Purge my fear, and make my claim
