...wish that I'd grow taller than the clouds and feel the gentle heart of the wind brushing up against my branches no more wasted second chances could I grow, could I grow wish that I would know which way to go for shelter from the bitter winter wind it's not this town with the towering mountain 1500 miles and counting could I know, could I know wish I was a mole in the ground wish I was a mole in the ground as a mole in the ground I would root this mountain down and I wish I was a mole in the ground when I die, I'll fall into the sea and feel my ashes beat against the waves echoing the mermaid's chanting sifting through the barrel-eye dancing could I fall into the sea...

Clawing 03:12
...the work didn't get done as I had planned yet again clawing, clawing from within the devil nestled in my skin water, sleep, food, and rest can never get him out the night stretches onward and, staring upward, I have the urge to clench my jaw (at 3AM) clawing, clawing from within the devil nestled in my skin water, sleep, food, and rest can never get him out I put a hold on everything clawing, clawing from within the devil nestled in my skin water, sleep, food, and rest can never get him out deep breath...

...when the whistle cracks I'll be gone when the whistle cracks I'll be gone got your heart on yellow paper when you told me I'd see you later deep within the crags I do belong got a suitcase full of clothes and an atlas too got a suitcase full of clothes and an atlas too I don't even have to cry you've skipped town and so should I to find a home is what I'm gonna do. head grows heavy when working in the sun head grows heavy when working in the sun but this garden just won't grow so I believe that I must go 5 o'clock rolls in, the day is done. now the whistle's cracked I'll be gone now the whistle's cracked I'll be gone got your heart on yellow paper when you told me I'd see you later deep within the crags I do belong...

...if there's water in the plains and there's gold up in the hills I'd roll the dice for fortune leave my family my will if today is the mountain and tomorrow is the sky I'd hope there's room in Heaven for a sickly soul like mine well, I see the others working see their buckets filling up I look at mine so empty and I haven't seen enough and I hear a storm a-comin' hear it rollin' through the hills and as I'm slipping down the mountain I'm thinking of that will if my ankle is broken and I'd never get found may God lift me up from this long forsaken ground if there's anybody out there who can hear my tired plea I would rather be a beggar than a body in the leaves...

...when I see the light of day all the fog and rain clouds scurry home and I feel the growling sun. when I see the light of day...
