A Life of Possibilities

You dig down underground now

Through the soil, through the cooling clay

As the din fades above you

You're moving, you're secret, you're nowhere, it's all good

And no lights lead you onwards

And no signs point you on your way

Yeah, just earth in all directions

It's endless, it's mapless, no compass, no north star

You're gone 'cause they can't find you

You're lost 'cause they don't know the way

They blame themselves, they blame each other

They're angry, they're sorry, they're worried, you don't care

The shovels scrape somewhere up there

They just want to know if you're okay

Morse code tapped with hammers

You hear it, you know it, ignore it, you're on your way

But at some point, oh you've gotta come up for air

You wipe the rocks and mud, and dirt out of your hair

You're blind and queasy with a growing sense of despair

You don't know anyone

You look around yeah, trying to find someone you know

You put your hand up in the air, you kinda wave hello

But if they do care, oh, they're not letting it show

This can't be new to you

There's a feeling coming back

Connected by one thread

It's pulling at your hands like a spider web

Like a kite that isn't there

If it's a life of possibilities

That pulls you away, that claws and tears

And challenges you to stay, well then

If it's a life of possibilities

That you've gotta live well, don't be surprised

When they don't remember you, or simply don't want to

Yeah, yeah, yeah
