The Sunken Temple

from The Lightning Tree by Sam Jones

lyrics

It's not something that can be seen with open eyes
The place where all the souls are caught
Beneath the muddied silent tides
And I can't let these claws wrap around my feet
And drag me down into the place
Where all these minds can never sleep

Please free me
If you cared at all
Or release me
I don't want you to see me fall
Below

This medication's hurting me again
It's not something that I expect
The ones I love to comprehend
And I don't know if this is all that I deserve
But there has to be a line between
The heaven's peak
And hell on earth

I'm so tired
Of being the root of others' pain
And feeling
That I'm the ones who's gone insane
But all my instincts turn to dust
When I don't know who I can trust
But that's not right
And that's not fair
To think that you have never cared

Forgive me
Please let me show
A place we never
Got to know
I love you
With all my heart
I'd walk through hell
For a fresh start

One more chance
Is all I need
To show you how bright
Things could be
Take my love
It's yours to keep
So it can breathe
When I'm asleep

Take my love
It's yours to keep
So it can breathe
When I'm asleep
