Tunnels
VERSE:
I watch the tunnels from afar
I close my eyes and hear alarms
I’ve begged to every passing car
Drag me through the tunnels to the stars
PRE-CHORUS:
Let me hide alone a second
I’ve got no gag
But hunger beckons
CHORUS:
Leave me be and let me crumble
Set me free, I’ll be the rubble
Starved and broken watch me stumble
Hollow me, I’ll be your tunnel
VERSE:
In my sky- a confident mast
In my hold- a tattered rag
I cannot find my pearly flag
I drown under a bloated raft
PRE-CHORUS:
Let me hide alone a second
I’ve got no gag
But hunger beckons
CHORUS:
Leave me be and let me crumble
Set me free, I’ll be the rubble
Starved and broken watch me stumble
Hollow me, I’ll be your tunnel
BRIDGE:
take myself away
I’ll live along the empty highway
CHORUS:
Leave me be and watch me crumble
Set me free, I’ll be the rubble
Starved and broken watch me stumble
Hollow me, I’ll be your tunnel

This song was inspired by a few books (mainly Life of Pi and East of Eden) that I've been reading in my English class, and my class' discussions about what it means to be alone.
