[Intro]
Beneath the fields, beneath the stone
The soil has learned the shape of bone
No road returns, no bell is rung
The dirt keeps every name unsung
[Verse 1]
I woke where roots split iron seams
With clay pressed hard against my teeth
The ceiling sweats a bitter rain
Each drop rehearses my old name
A buried room, a borrowed breath
The walls lean close and practice death
I clawed a path through salted ground
But every tunnel folded down
[Pre-Chorus]
The planet turns without a sound
Its heavy heart drags me down
[Chorus]
Earthbound, I belong below
Handful by handful, let me go
Earthbound, no sky, no shore
The ground has closed its mouth once more
[Verse 2]
I found a wire, a rusted thread
It hummed with voices of the dead
They spoke of doors beneath the sea
Then asked what part of me was free
My pulse became a mining drill
My lungs obeyed the mountain’s will
I carved your face into the wall
The stone erased it as I called
[Pre-Chorus]
The planet turns, the seasons drown
Its ancient weight wears bodies down
[Chorus]
Earthbound, I belong below
Handful by handful, let me go
Earthbound, no sky, no shore
The ground has closed its mouth once more
[Bridge]
If there is a surface, it has moved
If there is a sun, it has been proved
By someone else, in someone’s dream
Far from this dark and airless seam
I hear the roots come twisting through
They carry pieces back to you
No grave, no birth, no final sound
Just teeth of stone and turning ground
[Final Chorus]
Earthbound, I belong below
Handful by handful, let me go
Earthbound, no sky, no shore
The ground has closed its mouth once more
Earthbound, strip the name away
Bury the night inside the day
Earthbound, under every home
The Earth keeps what it calls its own
[Outro]
Beneath the fields, beneath the stone
The soil has learned the shape of bone
I stopped resisting when I found
The deepest place was all around
