"A Return To The Earth Below" lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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
Rising, that was 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
