Deep underground
Somewhere beneath that green field
A very small sound
Faint but I think it's breathing
So afraid
To make that only move
Left hanging on hope
One finger to go
And slipping
You won't find me there
I walk a different way now
Treading on old ground
Gets me nowhere with you
You won't find me there
I walk a different way
I'm coming up for air
Deep underground
Somewhere beneath that green field
A very small sound
Faint but I think it's breathing
Don't ask me why
She spiraled
So far down
Wake up when you wake up when
These days are too long
To rise without good reasons
You won't find me there
I walk a different way now
Treading on old ground
Gets me nowhere with you
You won't find me there
I walk a different way
I'm coming up for air
Those ivory wings
Flow down stream
Ivory wings
Flow
Those ivory wings
Flow down stream
Ivory wings
Flow
Deep underground
Somewhere beneath that green field
A very small sound
Faint but I think it's breathing
You won't find me there
I walk a different way now
Treading on old ground
Gets me nowhere with you
You won't find me there
I walk a different way
I'm coming up for air
