Statues - Abide lyrics

Solemn graves, wake up The earth is in my lungs Bone dry and sore from the dust inhaled Now a part of me I'm bleeding dirt And roots and all The soil is mixed with my blood The roots are tangled around my ankles They keep me anchored to the ground I'm standing on, left to gather What I can from the weather But my skin longs to shed its bark and leaves To be left for dead If I could be there among the waves Where the pressure presses gently From above and below, invitingly so It's calling me I could be safe I could be cold and free It's calling me back home Throw me to the sea Where I can be Under the waves Where I can sleep I am home
