One True Pairing - Tunnelling Lyrics

I need a place to hide

The sky is black and blue

The mountains lean in

The world above is streaked with fire

The lights are so dim

It's too hard to breathe



Under your feet

The homes and the streets

I am unseen

I am tunnelling



A hole not five feet wide

Inviting and cool

I lower myself in

I dig for hours at the building site

Through the damp earth

Into the underworld



Under your feet

The homes and the streets

I am unseen

I am tunnelling



All the creatures that call it home

These are my friends

I know all their names

The tunnel narrows around me

It squeezes my ribs

There's dirt in my mouth



Under your feet

The homes and the streets

I am unseen

I am tunnelling
