Lyrics
There’s a well inside in my chest
it’s far too deep to draw from
afraid of what I might find at the bottom
There’s a garden in my heart
that’s faint and under-watered
it’s arid and dying to revive
I’m not the kind of man
who hides behind brick and mortar
But these but walls were built around me
the height and weight astounds me
I need to climb out before it drowns me
There’s a barely glowing ember
where a fire used to rage
The kindling is soaking in the dark
But the trembling of my earth
is just beneath the surface
Brace myself for impact, can I make it out intact?
I’m not the kind of man
who lies to avoid the bitter truths of life
But these but walls were built around me
the height and weight astounds me
I need to climb out before it drowns me
Before it drowns me
Before it drowns me
I’m coming back to me
I’m coming back to me
I’m coming back to me
I’m coming back to me
I’m coming back to me
I’m coming back
