Connor Schon - Mr. Mole Lyrics

One day, Mr. Mole
You will find
That the worms that you call friends
Only stayed for the dirt
When did your eyes
Become blind
Years of living underground
They've been rendered inert

But that's not what you
Told your friends
You said you were Damascus bound
When the light struck you down

Did you hear the tick
Of the clock, Mr. Mole
Digging deeper down your hole
Did you think you'd be free
When did your hands
Hit the rock
Now you fossilize your fate
As the earth meets the sea

But that's not what you
Told you friends
You said you were Damascus bound
When the light struck you down

The circle of light
That beckons to me
Is just a tunnel closing in
Like the day that I was born
In time
You'll forget the memory
And the sand will smooth away
All the brambles and the thorns

But that's not what you
Told your friends
And when it all comes crashing down
You'll never see them again
