Awake in Ruins - Wanderlust

Dig amongst the fallen ash[00:18.87]That speaks of a trepid past[00:20.92]Dig another layer down[00:22.73]Another tunnel in another ring around[00:24.84]Dig anything that was left behind may extend life[00:28.89]Dig for another cache, another trove, a hidden stash[00:36.85]My search for mundane has revealed the arcane[00:44.89]But the weight of a troubled mind is better left behind[00:53.00]Dig tear away the veil[00:54.81]Returning broken fingernails[00:56.93]Dig and double down[00:58.73]To make up for time lost last round[01:00.95]Dig every supply[01:02.83]Recovered buys just a bit more time[01:04.91]Dig because the winter cold[01:06.81]Will strip us to the bone[01:11.09]Count out days in earnings gained[01:12.75]The math adds up to not a plan[01:14.99]Days spent working, days spent resting[01:16.91]Weary mind and tired hands[01:18.95]Best to stick to the routine[01:20.77]And make way with the easy grind[01:22.75]Or best to risk more and taste loss[01:24.75]In hoping for a lucky find[01:27.43]My stillness of mind stirred by the divine[01:35.34]But the gravity of these thoughts serves best when lost[02:01.45]Time after time after time[02:04.25]And half a week goes by[02:05.49]Grind after grind after grind[02:08.29]For just enough supply[02:09.46]Time after time after time[02:12.27]I am loosing the light[02:13.37]Grind after grind after grind[02:16.21]Just to sleep at night[02:52.81]Again (again, again)[03:12.49]My search for mundane has revealed the arcane[03:20.37]But the weight of a troubled mind is better left behind[03:28.37]My stillness of mind stirred by the divine[03:36.29]But the gravity of these thoughts serves best when lost[03:43.38]Dig just to hold my own[03:45.25]It's easier to sleep alone[03:47.39]Dig keep the cold away, the fire lit[03:50.23]The wolves at bay[03:51.41]Dig it may not be much[03:53.25]But what i have may be enough[03:55.41]Dig because the winter cold[03:57.26]Will strip us to the bone[03:59.47]Dig[04:03.39]Dig[04:07.37]Dig[04:11.41]Dig[04:15.43]Dig
