Someone cried in the dead of the night Was it me or was it just in my mind? Reaching deep into the soil I find I’m stirring awake a fury Maybe I’m the only one who survived Crawling out the dark and into the light As I turn my face and look to the sky A tear in my eye is forming
Shaking off all those heavy chains Now I will find my own way
Turn in the ground underneath me and show what I am Pushing and breaking my way from the hand of the man Nothing to fill the air here now that I’m overgrown Overgrown Overgrown
When they try to leave me alone Down into the dirt I go But don’t fight it They were just giving me The very thing I would need Eh-eh-eh Time will tell me what I can and cannot do Who to be and do not be It’ll drive me to the grave Then he’s dead in the road, one step closer to home
Shaking off all those heavy chains Now I will find my own way
Turn in the ground underneath me and show what I am Pushing and breaking my way from the hand of the man Nothing to fill the air here now that I’m overgrown Overgrown Overgrown
And I’ve been hiding for so long With only darkness every day I’m gonna crawl to the morning sun And let it warm every part of me And I’ve been hiding for so long With only darkness every day I’m gonna crawl to the morning sun And let it warm every part of me
Turn in the ground underneath me and show what I am Pushing and breaking my way from the hand of the man Nothing to fill the air here now that I’m overgrown Overgrown Overgrown Overgrown Overgrown
