Buried Beneath

(album: Until We Have Faces - 2011)

My eyes have adjusted to dark and so has my heart
The weight of the world has covered me
I'm in over my head
Am I living or dead
Can anyone hear me calling out
I'm calling out

I'm finally breaking so where are you now
It's been such a long time
But I've tried to live without
I'm suffocating I need you to breathe
So reach down and pull me up
Pull me out before I am buried beneath

I built this house on the shore
All I wanted was more
But I felt the sand start shifting
Saw the cracks in the walls
I painted over them all
I tried my best to just ignore
I can't ignore

I'm finally breaking so where are you now
It's been such a long time
But I've tried to live without
I'm suffocating I need you to breathe
So reach down and pull me up
Pull me out before I am buried beneath

Thought I was climbing out
But it's dragging me down
What's hidden here with me
Thought I was alone
But it pulls me deeper now
I can't escape

I'm finally breaking so where are you now
It's been such a long time
But I've tried to live without
I'm suffocating I need you to breathe
So reach down and pull me up
Pull me out before I am buried beneath
