It happened deep beneath the roots and leaves
shaking faults, shivering up to my knees
there's a storm a brewing under my feet
lightning strikes my heels, and I can barely speak.

But I said I'll pluck these strings until my fingers bleed
and it seeps out of me like sap from the trees
Maybe I'll sprout wings and set myself free

I am buried alive beneath tangled snakes and vines
try to slice my way out, they're all snapping at my eyes
which one is which, it's difficult to decide
but I must act fast, this I realize

But I said I'll pluck these strings until my fingers bleed
and it seeps out of me like sap from the trees
Maybe I'll sprout wings and set myself free

Please release me from this test of time
I'm always too early or falling far behind
I'm running out of songs, and I can't find the rhymes
I can no longer hide between the lines

But I said I'll pluck these strings until my fingers bleed
and it seeps out of me like sap from the trees
Maybe I'll sprout wings and set myself free
