I hear the rumble Clouds and electricity ride across the sky The very storm that brought the mudslides Is the very storm that will loosen the dirt Not even the sand can silence the storm Buried under filth and wrapped in root Forgotten like a ruin and fossilized Ive slept for seven years I heard your voice travel through the earth I am ready to claw my way out With mud under my nails With God in my finger tips One hand reaches further in To feel the rain seep through soil I never dug a grave, but I never moved I am a city Hidden by time and harsh winds Breaking ground in a field of white, dressed in black Gray light fills my mouth and eyes My first sight is your face formed in the clouds Resurrected in a water birth I am forgiven with rain There is a void in the earth Not a grave, but a womb Head first, I scream to the sky My chest and lungs are free My hips escape as the holes cave in I catch my first breath in a wet choke The very storm that brought the mudslides Is the very storm that will loosen the earth Thank you Thank you for this This is mine

SEVEN YEAR STORM
I hear the rumble Clouds and electricity ride across the sky The very storm that brought the mudslides Is the very storm that will loosen the dirt Not even the sand can silence the storm Buried under filth and wrapped in root Forgotten like a ruin and fossilized Ive slept for seven years I heard your voice travel through the earth I am ready to claw my way out With mud under my nails With God in my finger tips One hand reaches further in To feel the rain seep through soil I never dug a grave, but I never moved I am a city Hidden by time and harsh winds Breaking ground in a field of white, dressed in black Gray light fills my mouth and eyes My first sight is your face formed in the clouds Resurrected in a water birth I am forgiven with rain There is a void in the earth Not a grave, but a womb Head first, I scream to the sky My chest and lungs are free My hips escape as the holes cave in I catch my first breath in a wet choke The very storm that brought the mudslides Is the very storm that will loosen the earth Thank you Thank you for this This is mine
