'Rat farts!' -The Bishop, Caddyshack


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


The author's comments:

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.
